In a recent year a baseball team paid seven times as much to their ace pitcher as they paid to their shortstop. If they paid $ 24 million for the two salaries, what did they pay each player?

Shortstop =$3,000,000;

ace pitcher = $21,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let amount earned by shortstop = s

Then, amount earned by ace pitcher = 7 times amount earned by shortstop = (7 × s) = 7s

Total amount Paid = $24,000,000

Amount earned by each player :

s + 7s = 24,000,000

8s = $24,000,000

s = 24,000,000 / 8

s = 3,000,000

Hence,

Salary earned by shortstop = $3,000,000

Salary earned by ace pitcher = (7 * 3,000,000) = $21,000,000

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
