A salesperson's weekly paycheck is 10% more than a second salesperson's paycheck. The two paychecks total $1075. Find the amount

Ksivusya [100]

Originally without the 10% extra, both have 100%. since the question stated that the first salesperson have 10% more, the percentage of his paycheck will be a total of 110%. on the other hand, the second salesperson will have only 100%. the question then stated that when both oaychecks are added together, it will give a total of $1075.

110% + 100% represents $1075
210% represents $1075

so now you need to find what is 1 %
1% represents $(1075/210)

the first salesperson have 110%, so you
(1075/210) × 110% = $563. 0952381
round off to the nearest cent so it will become $563.10
the first salesperson paycheck is $563.10

the second salesperson paycheck 100%. so you....
(1075/210) × 100% = $511.9047619
=$511.90
therefore the second salesperson paycheck is $511.90.

Julie says I added three odd numbers and my answer was 50 explain why Julie cannot be correct

ANTONII [103]

Julie cannot be right. That's because if you add three odd numbers together, you always get an odd number. The number 50 is an Even number.

Let's try adding 3 odd numbers together a couple of times...
3 + 3 + 3 = 9
5 + 1 + 5 = 11
7 + 3 + 5 = 15
We tried 3 examples, we could not get any even number. So, Julie's claim is wrong.
