50 albums

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

Floyd

base rate of $200 and an additional $12

let the number of album be x

and the total pay be y

y=200+12x1

Allen

base rate of $35 and an additional $9

let the number of album be x

and the total pay be y

y=350+9x2

Step two:

equate 1 and 2 we have

200+12x=350+9x

collect like terms

200-350=9x-12x

150=3x

divide by 3

x=150/3

x=50 albums
