Given:
A Hudson Valley farmer has 26 employees.
Salary of each employee = $410 per week.
Remaining amount after one week = $126
To find:
The initial amount of money he begins with.
Solution:
We have,
Amount he pays to one employee in one week = $410
Amount he pays to 26 employee in one week = 26 × $410
= $10660
Let x be the initial amount of money he begins with.
Remaining amount = Initial amount - Amount he pays to 26 employee in one week
[tex]126=x-10660[/tex]
[tex]126+10660=x[/tex]
[tex]10786=x[/tex]
Therefore, the initial amount of money he begins with is $10786.
