Question 1122415
.
<pre>
Let x = the average yearly salary of an individual with the bachelor's degree, in dollars.


Then the average yearly salary of an individual with the master's degree is (2x-49000) dollars, according to the condition.


Next, the condition says that the sum of these salaries is 113000 dollars:


x + (2x-49000) = 113000.


Simplify and solve:


3x = 113000 + 49000 


3x = 162000   ====>  x = {{{162000/3}}} = 54000.


<U>Answer</U>.  The average yearly salary of an individual with the bachelor's degree is 54000 dollars.


         The average yearly salary of an individual with the master's degree is 2*54000 - 49000 = 59000 dollars.
