Question 1138695: The executive committee of a corporation granted a bonus of 4,800 pesos to be divided between two of its most deserving employees, with the senior of the two receiving 1,100 pesos more than the other. How much did each man receive? Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source):
(1) Take the "extra" 1100 pesos and give it to the one employee, leaving 3700 pesos.
(2) divide those remaining 3700 pesos in half and give one half to each of the two employees.
One employee gets half of 3700 pesos; the other gets half of 3700 pesos plus an additional 1100 pesos.
