Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>First, let's create variables:</em></u>
<u><em>s = startup division</em></u>
<u><em>e = established divisioN</em></u>
<em>The startup division made 80% of 1/2 of the established division. </em>
<em>Let's take a look at what the above statement means: Making 80% of 1/2 means...</em>
<em>0.8 of 1/2 = 0.8*0.5 = 0.4 --> s = 0.4e.</em>
<em>Next: The startup division’s growth was 1/3 greater than the established division’s.</em>
<em>Seems like this is additional information is not needed.</em>
<em>If the divisions made 280,000 combined, how much did the startup division make?</em>
<em>s + e = 280,000 --> s = 280,000 - e, then we can substitude s = 0.4e for s --></em>
<em>280,000 - e = 0.4e --> 1.4e = 280,000 --> e = 200,000.</em>
<em>This means that s = </em><u><em>80,000.</em></u>
