Find the salaries of each vice president and president

Question

The salaries of the president and vice President total 592,800 a year. If the president makes 207,200 more than the vice president.

Answer 1

let p = president salary and v = vice president salary

then will have p + v = 592800 (1)

and p - v = 207200 (2)

add the two sides we have 2p  =  592800 + 207200 =  800000  ->> p = 800000/2 = 400000

subtrac two sides we have  2v = 592800 - 207200 = 385600. ->> v= 385600/2 = 192800

president salary = 400000   vice pres salary = 192800

Answer 2

592800-207200=385600

385600/2=192800

192800+207200=400000

The salaries of the president are 400,000.

The salaries of the vice president are 192800.
