Answer:

Yours paycheck is 297.78. Your coworkers is 372.22

Explanation:

Let x represent your paycheck and y represent coworkers paycheck.

Your paycheck is 20% less than your coworker so we can represent this as

[tex]0.8y = x[/tex]

and We also know that

[tex]x + y = 670[/tex]

We subsitue y for x.

[tex]0.8y + y = 670[/tex]

[tex]1.8y = 670[/tex]

[tex]y = 372.22[/tex]

So your coworker paycheck is 372.22.

Plug this back in to either equation, to solve for x.

[tex]372.22 + x = 670[/tex]

[tex]x = 297.78[/tex]

So our paycheck is 297.78.
