Question

james noticed that his earnings of $1377 showeds a decrease of 10% of his last weeks earnings. calculate his earnings last week

Answer 1

Answer:

His earnings last week were $1530.

Step-by-step explanation:

After decreasing, James's earnings are  $1377.

Given, his earnings showed a decrease of 10% of his last weeks earnings.

That means he is getting $90 if he got $100 last week.

Then, he will get $1 if he got $(100/90).

Then, he will get $1377 if he got ${(100/90)×1377} = $1530 last week.

Hence his earnings last week were $1530.
