Answer: $550 per week.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let amount earned by Scott = S
So, Candice earns C = 50% S + S
Therefore, C= 0.5S+S= 1.5S.
We know that both of them earn a total of $1375.00 per week
That is, total= amount earned by Candice + amount earned by Scott.
Plugging the values into the last expression:
1375= 1.5S+S = 2.5S
Now make S the subject by dividing through by coefficient of S which happens to be 2.5:
1375/2.5= 2.5S/2.5
550= S.
Therefore the amount earned by Scott is $550 per week
