If Alex made 20% more than Sam and together they made $118,800, how much did eachearn?

Answer 1

Sam made X

Alex made 100%*X + 20%*X = 120%*X = 1.2 X

X + 1.2X = 118800

2.2X = 118800

22X = 1188000

X = 1188000/22 = 54000

Sam made 54000

Alex made 54000*1.2 = 64800

The total is 108800, so yes it checks
