Answer:

Hamburgers : 225

Cheeseburgers : 286

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hamburgers and y be the number of cheseburgers

Hamburgers: x

Chesseburgers ( sold more than hamburgers 61) : y = (x + 61)

We have the equation: x + y = 511

x + (x + 61) = 511

2x + 61 = 511

2x = 450

x = 225

y = (x + 61)

y = 225 + 61

y =286
