Firstly, we have to find out what 10% of $25000 is. To do this, multiply $25000 by 0.1 (10% in decimal form): $\$25000 \times 0.1=\$2500$ . $2500 is the 10% raise.

Next, to find your first new salary, add $25000 and $2500 together: $\$25000+\$2500=\$27500$ . $27500 is your new salary after the 10% raise.

Next, we need to find 10% of $27500. It's a similar process as to finding 10% of $25000. $\$27500 \times 0.1=\$2750$ . $2750 is your 10% cut.

Next, since this is a cut, subtract $2750 from $27500. $\$27500-\$2750=\$24750$ . $24750 is your new salary after the 10% cut.

Next, to find the percentage change, firstly divide $24750 by $25000. $\frac{\$24750}{\$25000}=0.99\ \textsf{or}\ 99\%$ . Now this shows that your current salary is 99% of what you used to make. It is not how much less you make. To find how much less it is, subtract 99% from 100%: $100\%-99\%=1\%$ . Your current salary is 1% less than what you used to make.
