A certain IT department of fewer than 15 people hires coders and systems administrators. Coders are paid $55,000 per year on average, while system administrators are paid an average yearly salary of $45,000. What is the ratio of coders to systems administrators?

1) If two of the coders were made systems administrators instead, the yearly payroll for the IT department would be $535,000.

2) If systems administrators' salaries were reduced by one-third, and coders' salaries were increased to $58,000, the department would save $57,000 in yearly payroll.
