Question 660336
x = person 1
y = person 2

Convert 15% to a decimal
15/100 = .15
x = y - .15y
x + y = 1125

Substitute the first equation in the second
y - .15y + y = 1125
Combine like terms
2y - .15y = 1125
1.85y = 1125
1.85y/1.85 = 1125/1.85
y = $608.11 for person 2

Using y to solve for x
x = 608.11 - (.15)(608.11)
x = 608.11 - 91.22
x = $516.89 for person 1
