$4,200 / .12 =$35,000 her salary this year.
$35,000 - $3,000=$32,000 Her salary last year.
An equation representing this would look something like this:
S=(C/I) - R, where, S=her salary last year, C=amount of her savings, I= rate of her savings, R=salary increase.
Remember to follow PEMDAS, and left -> right rule.
First, solve the Parenthesis:
(4 + 2^3)
Solve the exponent.
2^3 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 4 x 2 = 8
4 + 8 = 12
_______________________________________________________________
(5^2) x (12)
5^2 = 5 x 5 = 25
25 x 12
_______________________________________________________________
Multiply
25 x 12 = 300
________________________________________________________________
300 is your answer
