15 POINTS AND BRAINLIEST IF YOU SHOW YOUR WORK TOO!
The company president has offered to reduce his salary 10% to cut expenses. If she now earns $175,000, what will be her new salary?

First you have to find what 10% is and then you subtract it from what she earns now. To find a percentage you do part/total = %/100 The total is what she earns now because we are finding the part of it

x/175000 = 10/100 Now we cross multiply

100 * x = 100x 175,000 * 10 = 1750000

100x = 1,750,000

now divide both sides by 100 so that x is alone and you know the 10%

1750000/100 =17,500

10% of her salary is $ 17,500

Now we have to subtract it to what she is getting now because her salary is being reduced

175,000 - 17,500 = 157500
