Question

A salesperson's weekly paycheck is 10% more than a second salesperson's paycheck. The two paychecks total $1525. Find the amount of each paycheck. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

Answer 1

1525 ➗ 2 = 762.5
762.50 x 10% is 76.25
762.50 - 76.25 = 686.25
one paycheck is 762.50
the other is 686.25

I hope this helps.
