Let the amount Kevin earns be represented with K
Let the amount Jason earns be represented with J
Jason earns $32.50 less than twice Keyin earns can be represented by
J = K - 32.5 ----- equation 1
Jason earns $ 212.5
J = 212.5 ----- equation 2
From equation 1, we can write the equation to solve for what Kevin earns
J = K - 32.5
Making K the subject of the formula
K = J + 32.5
Putting J = 212.5 into the equation above
K= $ 212.5 + $ 32.5
K = $ 245
Kevin earns $245
