Lois and Bob earn a combined annual income of $190,000. If Lois earns $54,000 per year more than Bob, what are their individual annual salaries?

Solution

Given that

Annual income of both Lois and Bob = $190,000

Lois earns $54,000 per year more than Bob

Let ,

Annual salary of Bob = x

Then

Annual salary of Lois = x + $54000

Hense,

x + x + 54,000 =  $190,000

2x + $54,000 = $190,000

2x = $190,000 - $54,000

2x = $136,000

x = $136,000 / 2

x = $68,000

Therefore,

Annual salary of Bob x = $68,000

Annual salary of Lois = x + $54,000

= $68,000 + $54,000

= $122,000

Therefore,

  Annual salary of Bob = $68,000

  Annual salary of Lois = $122,000
