Question

Bruno and Willie need a total of $50,000 to start an accounting business. Bruno has spent a lot of time getting the business set up, so Willie agrees to contribute $12,000 more than Bruno. How much money will Willie contribute?

Answer 1

The amount contributed by Willie and Bruno is $31000 and $19,000 respectively.

Let amount contributed by Willie be x

Let amount contributed by Bruno be y

Since Willie agreed to contribute $12,000 more than Bruno;

Therefore;

• x - y = 12000....…....... equation (1)

• x + y = 50,000...…....... equation (2)

By solving the system of equations simultaneously;

• 2x = 62000

• x = 31000

• and y = 50,000 - 31000

• y = 19,000

In essence; The amount contributed by Willie and Bruno is $31000 and $19,000 respectively.
