You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let x be the salary before the raise.
\n" ); document.write( "This means that she now makes
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B0.07x\"
\n" ); document.write( "which we are told is 67500\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So we have:
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.07%2Ax=67500\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, we need to solve for x. I will leave this up to you, if you are unsure how to do that please feel free to let me know and I will help you out more :)
