Question

Doris hourly wage is now $7.92 after a 10% raise . What was she making before the raise ?

Help me please

Answer 1

If Doris got a ten percent raise, $7.92 is now 100% of her wage. 100% - 10% = 90%. So, you need to find 90% of $7.92.

of = multiply

7.92 x .90 =

$7.13
Doris was making $7.13 before her raise
