Question 277661: .The programmer, Sammy plans to mark up the price of his virus program 35% whereas the programmer, Martin plans to mark up the price of his virus program by 54%. If Sammy's program sells for $285 and Martin's program sells for $325, who originally had the cheaper program before the price markup?
Sammy takes 5 hours longer to complet 300 lines of code than Martin. Together Sammy and Martin can complete the code in 6 hours.
How long it takes each programmer to complete the code if they program on their own. (hint: Quadratic equaiton )and 2) at what speed they are programming lines per hour.

Martin's original price:
x + 0.54x = 325; 1.54x = 325 ; x = $211.04
Sammy's original price::
x + 0.35x = 285 ; 1.35x = 285 ; x = 285/1.35 = $211.11
