Answer:
a) The salary of the department head is $42,000
b) The salary of the president of the university $168,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Let x be the salary of one of the department of head
President salary is four times of one of the department of head
So [tex]4x[/tex] is the salary of the president.
The total of the two salary is $210,000
than [tex]x+4x=$210000[/tex]
[tex]5x=210000[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{210000}{5}[/tex]
[tex]x=42000[/tex]
salary of one of the department heads is x
Therefore the salary of one of the department heads is $42,000
president salary = [tex]4x[/tex]
president salary = [tex]4\times42000[/tex]
president salary = 168000
Therefore the salary of one of the department heads is $42,000
and the salary of the President is = $168,000
