Question 671675: Please help me solve, Thank you! Your weekly paycheck is 15% percent less than your coworker's. Your two paychecks total 825. Find the amount of each paycheck. Answer by swincher4391(1107) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x be your coworkers paycheck.
x + (1-.15)x = 825
x + .85x = 825
1.85x = 825
x = $445.95
So .85(445.95) = $379.05
You make $379.05, he makes $445.95
