i tried 409.52 and 450.48 and its says thats incorret aslo
y=x-0.1x x+y=860 substitute y into second equation x+x-0.1x=860 1.9x=860 x=860/1.9 452.631 plug in x value into one of the equation x+y=860 452.631+y=860 y=860-452.631 y=407.369
x+0.9x=860,x=860/1.9=452.631
so, Your weekly paycheck=407 and coworker's=453
