Question 33967: one man recieved 15% more than another man when they shared an inheritance of $4,300.00/ how much did each man receive?
Answer by fanism(39)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! assume the first guy has $x, and second guy has $y, therefore
x = y (1 + 15%)
x = y (1.15) -- equation 1
the total amount of money is $4300. therefore
x + y = 4300 -- equation 2
solve both equations, and you will get
x = $2300 and y = $2000
