Question

A baseball team has home games on Thursday and Saturday The two games together earn ​$4061.50 for the team. Thursday​'s game generates ​$61.50 less than Saturday’s game. How much money was taken in at each​ game?

Answer 1

The team made 2,061.50 at the first game and 2,000.00 at the second game. Because 2,000.00 would be 61.50 less than the amount made at the first game. You can check it by adding 2,061.50 + 2,000.00 which equals $4,061.50.
