Answer 1

There seems to be a typo in the question, but if it means the start-up team made 33% more than the established team:

Let established team = x

Start-up team = 1.33x

Together:

x + 1.33x = 280,000

2.33x = 280,000

x = 120,171.67

Start-up team:

1.33(120,171.67) = 159,828.33

Answer: $159,828.33
