Answer provided by our tutors
let
w = the money Wednesday's game generates
s = the money Saturday's game generates
the two games earn $4817.50 for the team
w + s = 4817.50
Wednesday's game generated $552.50 less than Saturday's game
w = s - 552.50
by solving the system of equations
w + s = 4817.50
w = s - 552.50
we find
w = $2,132.5
s = $2,685
