Answer:

So Joyce earns $700 and Marianne earns $900 per week. and $900=$200+$700. A slightly different approach is to say, if Marianne didn't earn 200 more than Joyce, then the combined income would be $200 less or $1600-$200=$1400. Now they both earn the same so each would get half of $1400 or $700.
