Answer provided by our tutors
let
t = the money Thursday's game generates
s = the money Saturday's game generates
The two games together earn $4847 for the team:
t + s = 4847
Thursday's game generates #173.00 less than Saturday's game:
t = s - 173.00
by solving the system of equations:
t + s = 4847
t = s - 173.00
we find:
t = $2,510
s = $2,337
