Answer:

  275

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h represent the number of hamburgers sold. Then the number of cheeseburgers sold is h-62, and the combined total is ...

  hamburgers + cheeseburgers = combined total

  h + (h -62) = 488

  2h = 550 . . . . . . . . add 62, collect terms

  h = 275 . . . . . . . . . .divide by 2

275 hamburgers were sold on Friday.
