2) John made $55,000 in 2007, but his income decreased by 17% in 2008 due to the recession. What was his 2008
income?


Sagot :

Answer:  $45,650

=======================================================

Explanation:

A decrease of 17% means that he made 100% - 17% = 83% of what he did last year.

83% = 83/100 = 0.83

83% of $55,000 = 0.83*55000 = 45,650 dollars
