Ok there are some working areas here that I am working out but I do know that if you break down the total amount paid out to the scientists and engineers, there would be 7 scientists and 4 engineers

$1038 so if you take $66 multiplied by 7 you get $462. Multiply $144 by the remaining 4 and you get $576. The total will equal $1038. This should all help you put together the right equation because the answers are correct.

I hope this helps!!!
