Answer:

Mr . Li's salary = $ 2950

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio  = 7 : 8

Total part = 7+8 = 15

Mr. Lim's part = 7/15

Total salary = $ x

Mr. Lim's salary = $ 2450

[tex]\dfrac{7}{15}*x= 2450\\\\\\x = 2450*\dfrac{15}{7}\\\\[/tex]

x = 370 * 15

x = $ 5550

Mr . Li's salary = [tex]\dfrac{8}{15}*5550[/tex]

                       = 8 * 370

                       = $ 2950
