Question

Tricia got a 6% raise on her weekly salary. The raise was $30 per week. What was her original weekly salary in dollars per week?

Answer 1

Answer:   Original salary = $500  

Step-by-step explanation:  Tricia got a 6% raise on her weekly salary. The

raise was $30 per week.  

Let x be the original salary  

x times the raise percentage = raise amount  

6%= 6/100=0.06, raise amount = 30    

Now we solve for x  

Divide by 0.06 on both sides    

Original salary = $500
