Answer: The secretary's salary prior to the reduction was $42,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:
The original secretary's salary (x) multiplied by the percentage reduction in decimal form (4.5/100) must be equal to the amount of the reduction (1890)
Mathematically speaking:
x (4.5/100)= 1890
Solving for x:
x (0.045)= 1890
x = 1890/ 0.045
x = 42,000
The secretary's salary prior to the reduction was $42,000.
First you are going to solve for f.
6f = -2
you must get f alone so you divide both sides of the equation by 6 which becomes ....
f = -3
now you add the absolute value sign to -3. absolute value is how far away your answer is from 0. -3 is 3 away from zero so f = 3
