VERY VERY IMPORTANT SOMEONE PLEASE HELP

A programmer who excels at mathematical logic experiences an increase in wages of 10% and is now making $88 per hour. what was programmers wage before change. show each step

Answer 1

the programmer's wage before the change was $80.

Explanation:

i) let the original wages be $x.

ii) the new wages after an increase of 10% are $88.

iii) therefore we can write $x +
`(10)/(100)`x = 1.1 x = 88

therefore x =
`(88)/(1.1) = 80`

therefore the programmer's wage before the change was $80.
