Question 11 4 points Save Answer An employee earning $600 per week was given a 10% pay cut. After a few weeks, she threatened to quit, and her boss offered her a 10% pay raise. What will her salary be after she receives the pay cut and the raise? $594 $485 $600 $475 $490

Answer 1

Answer

Initial salary = $600

with 10% cut, it will become

= initial salary - 10% of initial salary

= $600 - $600*(10/100)

= $600 - $60

= $540 (new initial value)

Again, there is a hike of 10%

so, we get

= new initial value + 10% of new initial value

= $540 + $540*(10/100)

= $540 + $54

= $594 (FINAL SALARY)

option A is correct
