document.write( "Question 311444: Hi, My name is Gary Baldwin and I am having trouble setting up this word problem. I am suppose to set it up into 2 linear equations and solve them. OK, here is the problem: Two programmers are working on writing a new program that will check for viruses when incoming messages enter the company’s server. The first programmer, Sammy, plans to mark up the price of his virus program by 35%, whereas the second 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.
