Answer: Vera's starting salary at the company was $53600.
Explanation:
We can start by using the following proportion:
(Current salary) / (Starting salary) = (Percent increase) / 100
So we can write:
67,000 / Starting salary = 125 / 100
To find the starting salary we can cross-multiply and divide:
67,000 = (125 * Starting salary) / 100
67,000 * 100 = 125 * Starting salary
67,000 * 100 = 125 * Starting salary
67,000,000 = 125 * Starting salary
Starting salary = 67,000,000 / 125
