The two numbers are 80 and 4.
The quotient of 80 and 4 is 20: 80 ÷ 4 = 20
The sum of 80 and 4 is 84: 80 + 4 = 84
Step-by-step explanation:
there are 12 months in a year, and therefore 2×12 = 24 "half-months" and therefore semimonthly payments.
that means each paycheck is
72,000 / 24 = $3,000
there are 52 weeks per year.
that means they're are 52/2 = 26 biweekly periods and therefore payments.
each paycheck is therefore
72,000 / 26 = $2,769.23
so, Alice receives 2 more paychecks (26 to 24) in a year.
the difference between the 2 types of payment is
3000 - 2769.23 = $230.77
X - 0.17 = y
add 0.17 to both sides
x = y + 0.17
