100% of Adam's original income = $2600
1% of Adam's original income
= 2600 ÷ 100
= $26
100% - 10% = 90%
90% of Adam's original income
= 90 x 26
= $2340
90% of Adam's original income = 100 u of Adam's new income
100 u of Adam's new income = $2340
1 u of Adam's new income
= 2340 ÷ 100
= $23.40
100 u - 35 u = 65 u
65 u of Adam's new income
= 65 x 23.40
= $1521
Adam's latest income = $1521
Answer(s): $1521
