A programmer who excels at mathematical logic experiences an increase in wages of 10% and is now making $88 per hour. what was programmers wage before change. show each step

Answer 1

Answer:

the programmer's wage before the change was $80.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) let the original wages be $x.

ii) the new wages after an increase of 10% are $88.

iii) therefore we can write $x + $\frac{10}{100}$x  =  1.1 x = 88

 therefore x =  $\frac{88}{1.1} = 80$

therefore the programmer's wage before the change was $80.
