Answer 1

An employee makes a job change.

Her original salary was S1 = $65,000.

Her salary at her new job is S2 = $54,000.

=> The percentage of change in her salary:

C = (|S2 - S1|/S1) x 100 = (|54000 - 65000|/65000) x 100 = 16.9%

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Explanation:

Decreased amount =65,000 - 54,000 = $ 11000

`Percentage=(11000)/(65000)*100\\\\=(1100)/(65)\\\\`

=16.92%
