Problema Solution

A woman earns 15% more than her husband. Together they make $55,470 per year. What is the husband's annual salary?

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'x' represent the husband's salary, then 'x + 0.15x' represents the woman's salary:


55470 = x + x + 0.15x

solving for 'x' we have x=25800


the husband's annual salary is $25,800
