Question 277989: 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? (Hint: Set up linear equations for each programmer)
Sammy takes 5 hours longer to complete 300 lines of code than Martin. Together Sammy and Martin can complete the code in 6 hours.
Clearly explain the results from the calculations of 1) how long it takes each programmer to complete the code if they program on their own (Hint: Quadratic equation) and 2) at what speed they are programming lines per hour. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
