After a 4% raise, Gloria is making $23,920, and her current salary is 104% of her original salary:
$23,920/1.04=$23,000 ANSWER: Gloria's original salary was $23,000
So the fourth answer is correct.

Find 4% of original salary and add to original salary to get new salary:
$23,920=(0.04)($23,000)+($23,000)
$23,920=($920)+$23,000)
$23,920=$23,920
