because the budget cutbacks, MaryAnn was required to take a 8% pay cut. if she earned $59,000 before the pay cut, find her salary after the pay cut .



Answer :

so before she earned 100%

then she took a 8% cut
100-8=92
if 59000=100% of x then
x=92%
 
59000/100=x/92
multiply both sides by 92 to clear fraction under the x term
5428000/100=x
54280=x

her salary after was $54280
