Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

Total salary of 15 employees before old manager left= 600*15 = 9000
Total salary of 15 employees after new manager joined = 8700

The difference between old managers and new managers salary = 300
new managers salary = 720 -300 =420
