Question 565509: A salesperson's weekly paycheck is 25% more than a second salesperson's paycheck. The two paychecks total $1675. Find the amount of each paycheck. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.) Answer by ad_alta(240) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let 'p' be the smaller paycheck and 'P' the larger paycheck. Then P=1.25p and P+p=1675. Substituting, 1.25p+p=1675. Thus, p=$744.44 and P=$930.56.
