You can put this solution on YOUR website! the attendance at the Saterday night baseball game was three times the attendance at Sunday's game. In all, 56,000 fans attended the games. How many fans were at each game?
----------------
Let Sunday attendance be "x"; Saturday attendance is "3x"
EQUATION:
x + 3x = 56000
4x = 56000
x = 14000 (# at Sunday game)
3x = 42000 (# at Saturday game)
================
