Hi

total sales at restrarant A were 350,000 more than restrarant B total sales

Let x  and (x + 350,00)represent the sales at A and B

Question states***

 x + (x+350,000) = 600,000,000

Solving for x

       2x = 5,650,000

       x = 2,825,000 at one store and 3,175,000 at the other (2,825,000+350,000)

CHECKING our Answer***

 2,825,000 + 3,175,000 = 6,000,000,000
