Answer 1

The millions of dollars generated by person A were 107.6 and millions of dollars generated by person B were 84.7

Explanation:

The correct question is

In a recent​ year, person A and person B had two concert​ tours, and together they generated $192.3 million in ticket sales. If person B took in $22.9 million less than person​ A, how many millions of dollars did each tour​ generate?

Let

x -----> millions of dollars generated by person A

B -----> millions of dollars generated by person B

we know that

`x+y=192.3` -----> equation A

`y=x-22.9` ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for x

`x+(x-22.9)=192.3`

`2x-22.9=192.3`

`2x=192.3+22.9`

`2x=215.2`

`x=107.6`

Find the value of y

`y=107,6-22.9`

`y=84.7`

therefore

The millions of dollars generated by person A were 107.6 and millions of dollars generated by person B were 84.7
