Singer A and Singer B had the two​ top-grossing concert tours for a certain​ year, together generating ​$326 million in ticket sales. If Singer B took in ​$24 million less than Singer​ A, how much did each tour​ generate?

Answer 1

Let x be the amount Singer A generated in ticket sales.
In that case, Singer B generated x - 24 million.
Together, they generated x + x - 24 million = 326 million.
Combining like terms, we get 2x - 24 million = 326 million.
Adding 24 million to both sides, we get 2x = 350 million.
Dividing both sides by 2, we get x = 175 million.
Therefore, Singer A generated 175 million dollars and Singer B generated 175 - 24 = 151 million dollars. Answer: \boxed{175, 151}.
