Round answers to the nearest penny.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Coworker's paycheck = x
Your paycheck = 0.85x (15% less)
x + 0.85x = 735
1.85x = 735
x = 735/1.85
x = 397.30
15% of $397.30 = $59.59
$397.30 - $59.59 = $337.71
$397.30 + $337.71 = $735.01
Coworkers paycheck = $397.30
Your paycheck = $337.71
Hope this helps.
