Question

Cardiothoracic surgeon jacajacara Coleman MD and cardiovascular surgeon Jurnee Wright MD decide to purchase and office space together. They must a 20% down payment of $220,000. Jacara has $70,000 less than twice jurnee's amount to invest. How much money does each surgeon have?

Answer 1

Jacara and Jurnee have $ 710000 and $ 390000 respectively as amounts.

Explanation:

Let, Jacara's and Jurnee's amounts be $ x and $ y respectively.

According to the question,

20 % of the total amount = $ 220,000

So, total amount = $
`220,000 * 5`

=$ 1100,000

According to the question,

x + y = 1100,000 -----------(1)

and, x =
`2 * y - 70000`-----------(2)

from (1), x = 1100,000 - y--------------(3)

Deducting (2) from (3),

`3 * y = 1170,000`

⇒ y =
`(1170000)/(3)`

⇒ y = 390000-------------------(4)

from (1) and (4),

x = 1100,000 - 390000

= 710000---------------(5)
