A salesperson's weekly paycheck is 50% more than a second salesperson's paycheck. The two paychecks total $1625. Find the amount of each paycheck. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

Answer 1

X+y= 1625

X = 3Y/2

3Y/2 + Y = 1625

5Y/2 = 1625

Y = 2/5 x 1625 = 2 x 325 = $650

X = 1625-650 = $975
