Answer 2

Let the initial salary of X

X+8% of X =9500

$\frac{x}{1} \times \frac{100}{100} + \frac{8}{100} \times x = 9500$

$\frac{100}{100} + \frac{8x}{100} = 9500$

$\frac{108x}{100} = 9500 \\ x = 9500 \times \frac{100}{108}$

$x = 9500 \times \frac{50}{54}$

$x = 9500 \times \frac{25}{27}$

$x = \frac{237500}{27}$

X=8796.29
