Question

Suppose the average yearly salary of an individual whose final degree is a​ master's is ​$41 thousand less than twice that of an individual whose final degree is a​ bachelor's. Combined, two people with each of these educational attainments earn ​$115 thousand. Find the average yearly salary of an individual with each of these final degrees.

Answer 1

Answer:N/B The amount is in thousands

The total amount earned by a Bachelor's person be $x:

amount earned by a masters person will be $(2x-38)

Total amount earned by the two individuals will be:

x+(2x-38)=115

solving for x we get:

x+2x-38=115

3x=115+38

3x=153

x=153/3

x=51

also:

2x-38=2*51-38=64

therefore we conclude that master's individual earns average of $ 64,000 while the Bachelor's individual earns $51,000.
