Erica earned a total of $67,250 last year from her two jobs. The amount she earned from her job at the store was $1,250 more than three times the amount she earned from her job at the college. How much did she earn (in dollars) from her job at the college?

Step-by-step explanation:

x = earnings from the store

y = earnings from the college

x + y = 67,250

x = 3y + 1,250

now we use the identity of the second equation in the first equation :

(3y + 1,250) + y = 67,250

4y = 66,000

y = $16,500

x = 3y + 1,250 = 3×16,500 + 1,250 = 49,500 + 1,250 =

= $50,750
