Problema Solution
A worker received a 5% raise this month. If the salary is $1575 this month, what was the salary last month?
Answer provided by our tutors
let x = the salary last month
0.05*x + x = 1575
1.05*x = 1575 divide both sides by 1.05
x = 1575/1.05
x = $1,500
the salary last month was $1,500.00.
