______ million.

Answer 1

Answer:

Singer A generated ​$174 million in ticket sales and Singer B generated ​$152 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming A = gross for singer and B = gross for singer.

We are given that both the singers together generated $326 million in ticket sales and singer B took in ​$22 million less than Singer​ A, we are to find the amount generated by each tour.

$B=A-22$

$A+B=326$

Substitute ($A-22$) for B to get:

$A+(A-22)=326$

$2A=348$

A = $174

$B=A-22 = 174-22$

B = $152

Therefore, Singer A generated ​$174 million in ticket sales and Singer B generated ​$152 million.
