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.
There are three steps:<span>Rearrange the equation so "y" is on the left and everything else on the right.Plot the "y=" line (make it a solid line for y≤ or y≥, and a dashed line for y< or y>)<span>Shade above the line for a "greater than" (y> or y≥) or below the line for a "less than" (y< or y≤).</span></span>
Answer:
boys = 705
girls = 783
Step-by-step explanation:
We are to find the number of boys and girls in the school
the answer can be determined using simultaneous equation
x = boys
y = girls
y - x = 78 equation 1
y + x = 1488 equation 2
subtract equation 1 from 2
2x = 1410
x = 1410/2 = 705
Substitute for x in equation 1
y - 705 = 78
y = 705 + 78 = 783
The correct answer is 10/15, simplified to 2/3.
