Respuesta :
Let money earned in previous week =x
Money earned in second week =$110
money earned in 2nd week represents 25 percent increase over his earnings of the previous week.
110= x+25% of x
110= x+0.25 (x)
110=1.25x
x=110/1.25
x=88
So money earned during previous week is $88
Answer:
He earned $ 88 during his first week of work.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the earning of Jason in his first week of work,
Also, his earning is increased by 25 % in the second week,
So, his earning in the second week of work = x + 25 % of x
[tex]=x+\frac{25x}{100}[/tex]
[tex]=x+0.25x[/tex]
[tex]=1.25x[/tex]
According to the question,
In his second week he earned $110,
[tex]\implies 1.25x=110[/tex]
[tex]\implies x = \frac{110}{1.25}=88[/tex]
Hence, he earned $ 88 during his first week of work.
