A teacher's income from his investment in balloon bank and monthly wages is $100000. he doubles his investment and also gets an increase of 50% in wages and his income increases to $160000. what was his original income separately in terms of dividends and wages
\n" ); document.write( "

Let original income from investment be I
\n" );
document.write( "Then income from wages = 100,000 - I
\n" );
document.write( "After doubling his investment income, it becomes 2I and after a 50% increase in wages, it becomes 1.5(100,000 - I)
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 2I + 1.5(100,000 - I) = 160,000
\n" );
document.write( "2I + 150,000 - 1.5I = 160,000
\n" );
document.write( "2I - 1.5I = 160,000 - 150,000
\n" );
document.write( ".5I = 10,000
\n" );
document.write( "Original income from investments, or 
\n" );
document.write( "Now, you should be able to find the income from wages. \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
