Bob works at a restaurant. He was hired at a salary of $350 a week.
After having his pay cut by 20%, Bob later got a 20% raise.
How much per week does Bob make now?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 


$350  cut  20%  is  350*(1-0.2) = 350*0.8 = 280 dollars.


$280  raised  20%  is  280*(1+0.2) = 280*1.2 dollars = 336  dollars.
