The mayor commissioned two artists to paint 50 murals around the city. Once the work was completed, Celina was paid $1,000 more than 4 times the amount Diego got. If the mayor paid the two a total of $50,000, how much did Diego get? Think carefully first, then make a decision:

Let d be Diego’s payment. Both artists were paid (1000 + 4 * d ) + d = 50000 dollars. This means that 5d = (50000 - 1000) dollars. Therefore Diego was paid d = 49000 / 5 = 9800 dollars. So, the answer is 9800.
