Question 1009178
x = last year's salary.
x + 2000 = this year's salary.


.15 * (x + 2000) = 3300


simplify to get:


.15 * x + .15 * 2000 = 3300


simplify further to get:


.15 * x + 300 = 3300


subtract 300 from both sides of the equation to get:


.15 * x = 3000


divide both sides of the equation by .15 to get:


x = 20,000


his salary lastyear was 20,000 ***** that's your solution.


his salary this year is 22,000


.15 * 22,000 = 3,300.


solutionis confirmed as good.
