Hi there,
Total for the two games = $4249.50
Thursday's game earns $633.50 less than Sunday's
Make Sunday's earnings = 'x'
Thursdays game = x - $633.50
x + x - $633.50 = $4249.50
x + x = $4249.50 + $633.50
2x = $4883.00
x = $4883.00/2
x = $2441.50
Thursday's game earned $2441.50 - $633.50
Thursday's game earned = $1808
Sunday's game earned = $2441.50
Hope this helps :-)
