Question

Find last year’s salary if, after a 3% pay raise, this year’s salary is $32,960.

Answer 1

Answer:

$32000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let last years salary was $x

Therefore,

x + 3% of x = $32960

x + 0.03x = $32960

1.03x=$32960

x = 32960/1.03

x = $32,000

So, last year's salary was $32000.
