350 hamburgers were sold on the Sunday.

Step-by-step explanation

Suppose, the number of hamburgers sold on the Sunday was
x

As there were 67 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers, so the number of cheeseburgers sold
=x+67

Given that, the total number of hamburgers and cheeseburgers sold was 767. So, the equation will be.....


x+(x+67)= 767\\ \\ 2x= 767-67\\ \\ 2x=700\\ \\ x= (700)/(2)=350

So, the numbers of hamburgers sold on Sunday was 350.
