Question 267099
 If your salary of 33,000 this year was 10% more than last year, what was last years salary? 
I tried; 
33,000*.1=3,300
33,000-3,300=29,700
so last year salary was $29700
----------------
If you add 10% to $29700 you get $32670, not $33000.
----------------
$33000 is 10% more than last year, so it's LY's + 0.10*LY
= 1.1* LY
LY = 33000/1.1 = $30,000
