Question

A businessman has 10 employees. His salary is equal to 6 times the average of employees salaries. If the 11 of them receive a total of $64,000 in one year, what was the business mans salary that year ??

Answer 1

x = business man's salary
y = employee's salary

x + 10y = 64000
x = 6y

6y + 10y = 64000
16y = 64000
y = 64000/16 = 4000

x = 6*4000
x = 24000

business man's salary was $24,000
