There are games on Wednesday and Saturday. The two games together earn ​$4762.50 for the team. Wednesday​'s game generates ​$662.50 less than Saturday​'s game. How much money was earned at each​ game?

Answer 1

w + s = 4762.50

s-w = 662.50

subtract the equations to get

2w = 4100

w = $2050 = wednesday's revenues

s = 2050+662.50 = $2712.50 = Saturday's revenues

= 4762.50 - 2050 = $2712.50
