    Profit for August: x

    Profit for September: x - 22%x

    Total Profit for August & September: $689,000

    x + x - 22% x = 689,000

    2x -.22x = 689,000

    1.78x = 689,000

    x = 689,000/1.78

    x = 387,078.65

    August Profits: $387,078.65

    September Profits: 387,078.65 - (22%) (387,078.65) = 387,078.65 - 85,157.30 = 301,921.35

    August Profits: $387,078.65

    September Profits

    $301,921.35
