Final answer:

To find out how many people attended the concert each day, we can use the given information. By setting up an equation with the variables, we can solve for the number of people who attended on each day. The number of people who attended the concert each day is: Friday: 4,055, Saturday: 4,098, Sunday: 2,049.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many people attended the concert each day, we can use the information given:

  1. On Saturday, 43 more people attended the concert than on Friday.
  2. On Sunday, there were half the amount of people than on Saturday.

Let's use a variable to represent the number of people who attended on Friday. Let's call it 'x'.

So, on Saturday, there were 'x + 43' people in attendance and on Sunday, there were '(x + 43) / 2' people.

According to the given information, the total number of people who attended the concert over the weekend is 8,154. So, we can set up the equation: x + (x + 43) + ((x + 43) / 2) = 8,154. Solving for x, we get the value of x as 4,055.

Therefore, the number of people who attended the concert each day is: Friday: 4,055, Saturday: 4,098, Sunday: 2,049.
