in a recent year, person A and person B had two concert tours, and together they generated $192.5 million in tickets sales . if person b took in $21.9 million less than person a how many millions of dollars did each tour generate ?

Answer 1

Let's assume that Person A generated x million dollars in ticket sales.

Person B, according to the given statement, generated x - 21.9 million dollars in ticket sales.

Together, they generated 192.5 million dollars, so we can create the equation: x + (x - 21.9) = 192.5

Combining like terms, we get: 2x - 21.9 = 192.5

Adding 21.9 to both sides, we have: 2x = 214.4

Now, dividing both sides by 2, we find: x = 107.2

Therefore, Person A generated 107.2 million dollars and Person B generated 107.2 - 21.9 = 85.3 million dollars.
