    Mike's salary=x

    Ron's salary=2x

    We can suggest the following equation:

    x+2x=441

    3x=441

    x=441/3

    x=147

    Mike's salary=147

    Ron's salary=2x=2 (147) = 294

    Answer: Ron's salary is $294 and Mike's salry is $147.

    Let Mike's salary be = n and Ron's salary = 2n. therefore, n+2n=441

    3n=441

    (divide by the coefficient of n)

    n=441/3

    n=147.

    since Ron's salary=2n

    Ron's salary = 2*147=$194
