Best Answer

The husband's salary is 33,600. The higher math goes as follows: We are trying to find the husband's salary, so that is our "X" algebraically. We are also given that the wife earns 15% more than the husband, or 1.15X, and together they earn a total of 72,240. Therefore... x + 1.15x = 72,240 >>>

2.15x = 72,240 >>>

x = 33,600
