Answer 1

307 cheeseburgers and 369 hamburgers.

Answer 2

Answer: 375 hamburgers

Explanation:

Let's assume that x is the number of hamburgers sold on Monday.

According to the problem, the number of cheeseburgers sold is 62 fewer than the number of hamburgers sold. So the number of cheeseburgers sold is x-62.

The total number of hamburgers and cheeseburgers sold is 688. So we can set up an equation:

x + (x-62) = 688

Simplifying this equation, we get:

2x - 62 = 688

Adding 62 to both sides, we get:

2x = 750

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

x = 375

Therefore, 375 hamburgers were sold on Monday.
