Suppose the average yearly salary of an individual whose final degree is master's is $40 thousand less than twice that of an individual whose final degree is a bachelor's. Combined, two people with each of these educational attainments earn $110 thousand. Find the average yearly salary of an individual with each of these final degrees.

Respuesta :

Answer:

x=50000  dollars ( the average salary of bachelor degree)

the average salary of Masters degree = 2x-40000

2(50000)-40000=60000 dollars

step by step explanation :

let x be the salary of individual with bachelor degree

Then the average salary of individual with Masters degree is:

(2x-40000)

the combined of two salaries is 110000:

x+(2x-40000)=110000

3x-40000=110000

3x=110000+40000

x=150000/3

x=50000  dollars ( the average salary of bachelor degree)

the average salary of Masters degree = 2x-40000

2(50000)-40000=60000 dollars
