Answer:

Luis Salary is  1800 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Ration of Luis´s salary and Andres´s salary is 5:3

[tex]\frac{L}{A} = \frac{5}{3}\\3L -5A = 0[/tex] -- Eq (1)

Then Andrews salary in July would be A + 720 while Luis salary in July is L

L = A + 720  ---E q (2)

[tex]3 ( A +720 ) -5A = 0\\2 A = 720 *3\\A = 1080[/tex]

Luis Salary is
