    Originally without the 10% extra, both have 100%. since the question stated that the first salesperson have 10% more, the percentage of his paycheck will be a total of 110%. on the other hand, the second salesperson will have only 100%. the question then stated that when both oaychecks are added together, it will give a total of $1075.

    110% + 100% represents $1075

    210% represents $1075

    so now you need to find what is 1 %

    1% represents $ (1075/210)

    the first salesperson have 110%, so you

    (1075/210) * 110% = $563. 0952381

    round off to the nearest cent so it will become $563.10

    the first salesperson paycheck is $563.10

    the second salesperson paycheck 100%. so you ...

    (1075/210) * 100% = $511.9047619

    =$511.90

    therefore the second salesperson paycheck is $511.90.
