Answer:

278 cheeseburgers and 350 hamburgers sold on Thursday

Explanation:

To confirm that these combined equal 628 we can add them together using the equation 278 + 350. Once confirm that these both equal 628 when combined, we can find the difference between the 350 hamburgers and 278 cheeseburgers by subtracting one from the other using the equation, 350 - 278. When you do that, you will get a difference of 72 which means that there were 72 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers.

(sorry if this is confusing, I'm not good at explaining things)
