Question

An assistant receives a 7% raise bringing the salary to $45,027 what was the salary before the raise?

Answer 1

Answer:

$42,080

Step-by-step explanation:

7% of salary added with the salary gives the new salary. So We can write the equation as:

7% of x + x = 45027

=> $\frac{7}{100} x + x  = 45027$

=>$\frac{107}{100} x = 45027$

=>420.8 X 100

=>  $42,080
