Question

The average wage for an electrician in CA is $25.47/hour. That is 11% above the national average. What is the national average?



a) $22.95

b) $23.99

c) $24.22

d) $25.32

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let the national average be x

11/100 * x = 11x/100

25.47 - x = 11x/100

100(25.47-x) = 11x

2547 - 100x = 11x

2547 = 11x + 100x

2547 = 111x

x = 2547/111

x = 22.945945945946

22.95
