Answer 1

Answer:-

$1875

Explanation:-

Andy's pay = $1500

Percent pay less than his supervisor =20%

Amt of money less = 20% of x or x/5

His supervisor's pay = {let's consider supervisor's pay as x]

BTP,

or, x-(x/5) = 1500

or, (5x - x) / 5 = 1500

or, 4x/5 = 1500

or, 4x = 1500 × 5

or, x = 7500/ 4

or, x = 1875

Ans : The supervisor's pay is $1875.
