<span>You gave $1,500 in bonuses to two employees. one employee received $200 more than the other employee. what was the amount of the larger bonus given?
Answer: If both employees received the same amount then you would need to divide the amount by 2. $1500 / 2 = $750. However , in this case one employee receives $200 more than the other. $750 + $100 = $ 850. $750 - $100 = $650 $850 + $650 = $1500. The larger bonus amount is $850 and the smaller is $650.
