Combined, two people with each of these educational attainments earn ​$108 thousand. Find the average yearly salary of people with each of these final degrees.

Answer 1

average salary of who has bachelor degree will be $47 thousand

average salary who has master degree will be $59 thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given total salary of with master degree and bachelor degree is $108 thousand

Let m for master degree and B for bachelor degree

So M+B =$108

So M = 108-B-----EQN 1

According to question M+39 =2B

M = 2B - 39-------EQN 2

From eqn 1 and eqn 2

108 - B = 2B -39

`3B=108+39=147`

B = $49 thousand

So average salary of who has bachelor degree will be $47 thousand

From equation 1 M = 108-B = 108-49 = $59 thousand

So average salary who has master degree will be $59 thousand
