Question

John Waits owns a small shop with two employees. For one payroll period, the total expenses for salaries were $5000. If John's salary is $1800, what is the salary of the other employee?

a) $3200
b) $2800
c) $2200
d) $2000

Answer 1

The salary of the other employee is $3200.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the salary of the other employee, we need to subtract John's salary from the total expenses for salaries. So the salary of the other employee would be $5000 - $1800 = $3200.
