Question

Sandra saves 10% of her salary for retirement. This year her salary was $1,000 more than in the previous

year, and she saved $4,200. What was her salary in the previous year?

Answer 1

$41000 sorry if i am wrong :(

Answer 2

$41000

Explanation:

If her salary was $1,000 more than the previous year and she save $4,200, $4,200 was 10% of her salary. So we should create an equation. (x being her salary from the previous year)

0.1(x+1000)=4200 (divide 4200 by .01)

x+100=42000

42000-1000= 41000
