Answer:

3 employees earn $ 200, while the remaining 13 earn $ 165.

Explanation:

Given that there are 16 workers, of which some earn $ 200 per day and some earn $ 165 per day, knowing that the payroll is $ 2745, to determine how many employees earn each amount of money, the following calculation must be performed:

16 x 165 = 2,640

2,745 - 2,640 = 105

200 - 165 = 35

105/35 = 3

(200 x 3) + (165 x 13) = X

600 + 2145 = X

2,745 = X

Thus, 3 employees earn $ 200, while the remaining 13 earn $ 165.
