Question

A baseball team has home games on Friday and Saturday. The two games together earn $3873.50 for the team. Friday's generates 766.50 less than Saturday's game. How much money was taken in at each game?

Answer 1

Let's say the money made on Friday is f
The money made on Saturday is f+766.50
Total=f+f+766.50
3873.50=2f+766.50
2f=3107
f=$1553.50 (Money generated on Friday)
f+766.50=$2320.00 (Money generated on Saturday)
