Question

As of a certain date, there had been a total of 14,649 performances of two shows on Broadway, with 2389 more performances of Show A than Show B. How many performances were there of each show? There were performances for Show A.​

Answer 1

Subtract the difference:

14,649 - 2389 = 12,260

Divide that by 2

12,260 / 2 = 6,130

That is the number of shows for B.

For A add the 2,389 to the number of shows for B

2389 + 6130 = 8,519

Show A = 8,519

Show B = 6,130

Answer 2

Answer:

14,649 - 2389 = 12,260

Divide that by 2

12,260 / 2 = 6,130

That is the number of shows for B.

For A add the 2,389 to the number of shows for B

2389 + 6130 = 8,519

Show A = 8,519

Show B = 6,130
