Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The recycling and reuse industry employs approximately 1,025,000 more workers than the waste management industry. This means that

Number of workers employed by The recycling and reuse industry = the number of workers employed by the waste management industry + 1,025,000

Let y = the number of workers employed by the waste management industry. Therefore

x = y + 1,025,000 - - - - - - 1

Since total = 1,275,000

x + y = 1,275,000 - - - - - - -2

Substituting equation 1 into equation 2, it becomes

y + 1,025,000 + y = 1,275,000

2y = 1,275,000 - 1,025,000

y = 250000/2 = 125000

x = y + 1,025,000 = 125000 + 1,025,000 = 1150000

The recycling and reuse industry employs 1150000 workers

The waste management industry employs 125000 workers

prisoha [69]
To answer the question above, divide the total amount raised (T) during fundraising by the number of future exhibits (n). The amount of money (m) each exhibit will receive, 
                                  m = T / n = ($1664) / 8 = $208
Thus, each exhibit will receive $208.
