A law firm is going to designate associates and partners to a big new case. The daily rate charged to the client for each associate is $600 and the daily rate for each partner is $1100. The law firm assigned a total of 10 lawyers to the case and was able to charge the client $8000 per day for these lawyers’ services. Determine the number of associates assigned to the case and the number of partners assigned to the chase.
x = no. of associates
y = no. of partners
x+y = 10
600x + 1100y = 8000
Now solve as usual
