John's annual salary after a raise of 15% is $45,000. What was his salary before the raise?

Answer provided by our tutors

After rise salary = $45000

this 45000 is basically 115%

so applying unitary method 1%=45000/115

100%=(45000/115)*100=$39130

 

        or 

x(1.15)=45000

x=45000/1.15

x=39310
