2. Question
If Jane had gotten a 30% raise, she would have made $44,000. Actually, she got a 35% pay cut. What is her new salary?
Correct
Your answer of d. was correct.
The answer is: d. $22,000
Explanation: Don’t do more than you need to. If x is her original salary, 130% of x is $44,000. A 35% pay cut equals 65% of x. 65% is half of 130%, so her new salary is half of $44,000 or $22,000.
