Question

the attendance at two baseball games on successive nights was 66,000 the attendance on Thursdays game was 6,000 more than 2/3 of the attendance at Friday nights game

Answer 1

Fridays game = x

 Thursdays game = 2/3x +6000

 x + 2/3x +6000 = 66000

x +2/3x = 5/3x

5/3x + 6000 = 66000

5/3x = 60000

x = 60000 / 5/3 = 36000

 Friday night = 36000

 Thursday night = 30000
