The startup department made 80% of 1/2 of the established department. The startup department's growth was 1/3 greater than the established departments, if the department's made $280,000 combined how much did the startup department make
Answer provided by our tutors
let
x = the startup department's growth
y = the established department growths
The startup department made 80% of 1/2 of the established department:
x = 0.80*(1/2)y
the department's made $280,000 combined:
x + y = 280000
by solving the system of equations:
x = 0.80*(1/2)y
x + y = 280000
we find:
x = $80,000
y = $200,000
