Question

This week Andrei got a promotion at work that came with a 2 % pay increase. If now his monthly salary is $ 1683 , how much was he making before the raise?

Answer 1

1683 доллара - 102% . Найдем 1 процент и умножим его на 100%, тем самым получив ответ:

1) 1683 / 102 = 16.5 доллара - 1 % от всей зарплаты

2) 16.5 * 100 = 1650 - изначальная сумма, которую получал Андрей до повышения.

Ответ : 1650 $
