IT SURE WILL.... YOU BETTER CHECK YOU CALCULATION


42,000/6 = $7000   Sounds like an equal share to me...

Your calc is wrong... here is the correct way to calc son one....

1000+1/7x = 2000+1/7y

Then find for quantity in terms of x.


Then you will get the answer.... I will send more after your response.]
