The solution to this problem is $1728.00 for Wednesday's game, and $2962.50 for Sunday's game. The equation to figure this out is: 2 day total=Sundays total+(Sundays total-1234.50). When rewritten it looks like this: $4690.50=x+(x-1234.50). Next you add like terms: $4690.50=2x-1234.50. Next isolate x on one side, so add 1234.50 on both sides: $5925=2x. Next divide 2 from both sides: x=$2962.50. Because x=Sundays total we now know that Sunday brought in $2962.50, and Wednesday will have brought in $1234.50 less than that.
