Solution

Let the Thursday’s and Saturday’s games earn $ x and $ y respectively for the teams. Then x +y = 4483…(1). Also y –x = 343…(2). On adding the two equations, we get x+y +y –x = 4483+ 343 or, 2y = 4826 so that y = 4826/2 = 2413. Then x = y-343 = 2413-343 = 2070. Thus, the Thursday’s game generates $ 2070 and Saturday’s game generates $ 2413.
