Bonus = 26,168.22

Step-by-step explanation

STEP 1

B = 10% * (400000 - B - T)

T = 30%(400000 - B)

STEP 2

B = 10% * (400000- B - 30%(400000 - B))

B = 10% * (4000000 - B - 0.30(400000 - B))

B= 10%*(400000- B - 120,000 + 0.30B)

B = 0.1*(280,000 -B + 0.30B)

B = 0.1*(280,000 - 0.70B)

B = 28,000- 0.070B

B + 0.070B= 28,000

1.070B = 28,000

B = 28,000/ 1.070

= 105,056.17

Bonus = 26,168.22
