Question 660620: A baseball team has home games on Wednesday and Sunday. The two games together earn $4725 for the team. Wednesday's game generates $725 less than Sunday's game. How much money was taken in at each game? Answer by ReadingBoosters(3246) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x + y = 4725
x = y - 725
Substitute second equation into first equation
(y - 725) + y = 4725
2y - 725 = 4725
2y = 4725 + 725
2y = 5450
y = $2725 Sunday
x = 2725 - 725 = $2000 Wednesday
