Also what is the highest paid field in medicine (be specific just dont say surgeon tell me what type of surgeon)?

A. The average pay for a doctor is about 300 to 400 thousand, but denstists can also make 200 to 300 thousand on average. If youre one of the best, that also makes a difference (or one of the worst). But the highest paid field is by far plastic surgery, because there is not too much insurance to deal with and patients usually pay cash. hope this helps
If the average salary for a dentist is $3500 less than three times the average salary for his assistant?
Q. and their combined salaries equal 74,060 - what are the salaries for each the dentist? and the assistant?
A. Let x be the average salary for the dentist.
Let y be the average salary for the assistant.
x = 3y - 3500
x + y = 74060
Make x the subject
x = 74060 - y
Because x = 3y - 3500 and x = 74-060 - y,
we can equate them.
3y - 3500 = 74060 - y
Bring like terms over
4y = 77560
y = 19,390
So the average salary of the assistant is $19,390.
Using:
x + y = 74060
x + 19390 = 74060
x = 74060 - 19390
x = 54,670
So the average salary of the dentist is $54,670
Let y be the average salary for the assistant.
x = 3y - 3500
x + y = 74060
Make x the subject
x = 74060 - y
Because x = 3y - 3500 and x = 74-060 - y,
we can equate them.
3y - 3500 = 74060 - y
Bring like terms over
4y = 77560
y = 19,390
So the average salary of the assistant is $19,390.
Using:
x + y = 74060
x + 19390 = 74060
x = 74060 - 19390
x = 54,670
So the average salary of the dentist is $54,670
