Ali's weekly salary was increased by 8% to $237.60. What was her weekly salary before the increase?
Answer: $220
Explanation
Since her salary was increased by 8%, we can set up the equation:
x + 0.08x = 237.60
Combine like terms:
1.08x = 237.60
Divide both sides by 1.08:
x = 237.60 / 1.08
x = 220
So, Ali's weekly salary before the increase was $220.
