Question

A baseball team has home games on
ThursdayThursday
and
SundaySunday.
The two games together earn
?$3641.00
for the team.
ThursdayThursday?'s
game generates
?$425.00
less than
SundaySunday?'s
game. How much money was taken in at each? game?

Answer 1

Let x = Sunday's revenue

x - 425 = Thurday's revenue

 

Thus, (x) + (x - 425) = 3641

2x - 425 = 3641

2x = 4066

_______________________

x = $2,033.00

x - 425 = $1,608.00

 

Hope this helps!
