Answer:

Salary of President =   $180,000

Salary of Dept. Head =  $60,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is to find the salary of president and department head.

We let the salary of one of department heads be "x"

Since, the salary of president is THREE (3) TIMES a department head, we can say:

Salary of President = 3x

Now, we know the total of these 2 salaries is 240,000. Thus, we can write:

Salary of President + Salary of Dept. Head = 240,000

3x + x = 240,000

Now, we can solve for x:

3x + x = 240,000\\4x=240,000\\x=60,000

And now the president is "3x", so his salary is:

3(60,000) = 180,000

Thus,

President's salary = 180,000

Dept head's salary = 60,000
