Jims weekly pay is two thirds of Alicia's. Together they earn $600 per week. Week. What is each person's weekly pay?
.
Let A = Alicia's weekly pay
then from "Jim's weekly pay is two thirds of Alicia's." we get
(2/3)A = Jim's weekly pay
.
Because together they earn $600 per week:
A + (2/3)A = 600
3A + 2A = 1800
5A = 1800
A = $360 (Alicia's pay)
.
Jim's pay:
(2/3)A = (2/3)360 = $240 (Jim's pay)
