a baseball team has home games on Friday and Sunday. The two games together earn $3288.00 for the team. Friday's game generates $40 less than Sunday's game. How much money was taken at each game?

Answer provided by our tutors

Let sunday's game generate $x

Therefore , friday's game generates $(x-40)

x+x-40=3288

2x-40=3288

2x=3288+40

2x=3328

x=1664

Therefore for sunday's game=$ 1664

friday's game=1664-40

                    =$1624
