conversations.value: Adrien's total salary was 30 percent higher than Lylah's. Four years later, his salary had increased, and he was earning 40% more than what he was making four years ago. If Adrien's and Lylah's salary increased simultaneously, and Adrien earned $40000 four years ago, calculate the total salary the two were receiving four years later?
conversations.from: assistant
conversations.value: Since Adrien was earning $40000 four years ago and received a raise that makes him earn 40% more, he received a 40/100*$40000 = $16000 raise.
  In total, four years later, Adrien's salary is $40000+$16000 = $56000
  If four years ago Adrien was earning $40000, and Lylah's salary was 30% less, then Lylah's salary was 30/100*$40000= $12000 less than Adrien's salary four years ago.
  Four years ago, Lylah was earning $40000-$12000 =$28000
  After receiving a 40% raise, Lylah earns 40/100*$28000 = $11200
  In total, four years later, Lylah earns $28000+$11200= $39200.
  The total amount of salary the two earn four years later is $39200+$56000 = $95200
