Answer:

£8 889

Step-by-step explanation:

If a man earns 900% more than his original wage, it implies that the percentage of his original wage is 100% such that he earned 9 times his original wage. Thus 900/100 = 9

Therefore, his original wage is:

$\frac{80000}{9} = 8889$

The man's original wage is £8 889

Check

£8 889 × 9 = £80 001, approximately £80 000.

The 60$ system had a greater percentage decrease because it was a lower number to begin with. Taking the same portion out of two different numbers will always be a greater decrease for the lower number.

A quadrilateral WXYZ contains wxy where measure of wxy=92 degrees. Once rotated 270° about the origin and translated 2 units up,

Marianna [84]

Answer:

C. 92 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the $\angle{wxy}=$ 92° which is one of the angles of the quadrilateral WXYZ

The quadrilateral is first rotated by 270° about the origin and then translated 2 units up, the new position of the quadrilateral is W'X'Y'Z'.

The shape of the quadrilateral is remained unchanged due to rotation and translation, so all the angles of the final quadrilateral W'X'Y'Z' is the same as the angles of the given quadrilateral WXYZ.

So, $\angle{w'x'y'}= \angle{wxy}$
