Question

A person has a weekly salary of x and gets a raise of 32% which is worth 50$ what is the weekly salary?

Answer 1

$156.25

Explanation:

A good strategy in my opinion is the "finders" strategy

50$ = 32%

x = 100%

First Multiply 100 by 50

100 x 50 = 5,000

Then Divide 5,000 with 32

5,000/32 = $156.25

If you want to check, then...

156.25 x 32 = 5,000

x = $156.25

Hope this helps!
