Question 69850
Joyce's salary=x+6000
Husband's salary=x
10% of Joyce's salary plus 6% of her husband's salary which equals 5400.
.1(x+6000)+.06x=5400
.1x+600+.06x=5400
.16x=5400-600
.16x=4800
x=4800/.16
x=30000 which is hubby's salary.
thus Joyces salary is 30000+6000=36000
proof
.1*36000+.06*30000=5400
3600+1800=5400
5400=5400
