Question

Sal received an 8% raise. He now earns $66960. How much did he earn previously? Hint: number only, no symbols, no units​

Answer 1

$62,000.00

Explanation:

x + .08x = 66960 Combine like terms

1.08 x = 66960 Divide both sides by 1.08

`(1.08x)/(1.08)` =
`(66960)/(1.08)`

x = 62000

Answer 2

Sal previously earned $61640.
