Answer:
Original: $733 million
Sequel: $860 million
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's say the original movie grossed x dollars. Since the sequel grossed 127 million more than that, we can write the expression x + 127 to represent the sequel.
Their total is 1593 million, so let's add them up:
x + (x + 127) = 1593
2x + 127 = 1593
2x = 1466
x = 1466/2 = 733
To find the sequel gross amount, add 127 to 733:
127 + 733 = 860
So, the original movie grossed $733 million, while the sequel grossed $860 million.
