Problema Solution
If Denise received a 6 percent raise and is now making $25,550 per year, what was her salary before the raise? Round to the nearest dollar.
Answer provided by our tutors
Suppose, Denise's salary before the raise was $x.
After 6% raise the salary will be $(x+6x/100).
By queston,
x+6x/100=25550/12, since now her salary is 25550/12
or 106x=2129.17
or, x=2129.17/106=20.09
Her salary was $20.09.
