First way is to first find the sum and then find 37% of it. Second way is another way round, find 37 of 27 3/5 and 37% of 15.9 and then add it.
Lets do it
37%=0.37
- its the result
Second way its
0.37* 27 3/5 + 0.37*15.9=10.212 + 5.888=16.095

Answer: The secretary's salary prior to the reduction was $42,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:
The original secretary's salary (x) multiplied by the percentage reduction in decimal form (4.5/100) must be equal to the amount of the reduction (1890)
Mathematically speaking:
x (4.5/100)= 1890
Solving for x:
x (0.045)= 1890
x = 1890/ 0.045
x = 42,000
The secretary's salary prior to the reduction was $42,000.
