Step 1
Average salary of Tim, Maida and Aaron = $ 34000
Average salary = Total salary No. of persons
T i m + M a i d a + A a r o n = 34000 × 3
T + M + A = 102000 ( 1 )
Maida earn 10000 more than Tim.
M = T + 10000 ( 2 )
Aaron salary is 8000 less than twice Tim salary
A = 2 T 8000 ( 3 )
Put value of M and A in (1)
T + ( T + 10000 ) + ( 2 T 8000 ) = 102000 4 T + 2000 = 102000 4 T = 100000 T = 25000
Step 2
M = 25000 + 10000 M = 35000
A = 2 ( 25000 ) 8000 A = 42000
Salary T i m = $ 25000 M a i d a = $ 35000 A a r o n = $ 42000
