Question 460999
The profit for a company in february was 7% lower than it was in january. The total profit for the two months was $127,000. Find the profit for each month.
----------------------------
Let January profit be "x"
The February profit is "0.93x"
-----
Equation:
x + 0.93x = 127000
1.93x = 127000
x = $65,803.11 January profit
---
093x = $61,196.89 February profit
