Use what we know to make equations in order to solve for each governor's salary.
A=governor of state A
B=governor of state B
A+b=283,910. (Their salaries combined)
A=B+50,440 (A earns 50,440 more than B)
Sub A into the original formula to solve for B
B+50,440+b=283,910
2B=283,910-50,440
2B=233,470
B=116,730
Sub B into the formula that's equal to A
A=B+50,440
A=116,735+50,440
A=167,175
I hope this helps!
Hope this is correct and hope it helps x
700x + 375(27 - x) = 15000
Solve for x
X=15 business class
Economy class 27-15=12
Work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.
Increase = New Number - Original Number.
Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.
% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100.
