r = the amount of the raise
New rate after the raise = 10.25
To get the amount/rate before the raise:
We subtract r from the new rate
Joe's hourly rate before the raise = 10.25 - r
So, the expression is:
10.25 - r
New rate after the raise = 10.25
To get the amount/rate before the raise:
We subtract r from the new rate
Joe's hourly rate before the raise = 10.25 - r
So, the expression is:
10.25 - r
