Kendra and Laurel have shops that sell different brands of shoe collections. In 2014, Kendra made $8000 less than Laurel made in sales. However, in 2015, Kendra made 20% more money than Laurel made in 2014. If Laurel earned $30000 in 2014, calculate Kendra's total earnings in the two years.
In 2015, Kendra's sales were 20/100 * $30000 = $<<20/100*30000=6000>>6000 more than Laurel's.
So, Kendra's total sales for 2015 was $30000 + $6000 = $<<30000+6000=36000>>36000
If Kendra made $8000 less in 2014 than Laurel, she made $30000 - $8000 =$22000 in that year
The total amount of money Kendra made in the two years is $22000 + $36000 = $<<22000+36000=58000>>58000
