Answer:
Sam = 424,454.55
Tammi = 509,345.46
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Sam = x
Tammi =
Tammi = x + 20% of x
= x + 0.2*x
= x + 0.2x
= 1.2x
Total earnings = 933,800
Total = Sam + Tammi
933,800 = x + 1.2x
933,800 = 2.2x
x = 933,800/2.2
= 424,454.54545454
x = 424,454. 55
Sam = x
= 424,454.55
Tammi = 1.2x
= 1.2(424,454.55)
= 509,345.46
