100% - 40% = 60%
JaslynFanny =
60100 =
35 Combined salaries at first
= 3 u + 5 u
= 8 u
Increase in the combined salaries
= 30% x 8 u
=
30100 x 8 u
= 2.4 u
Combined salaries in the end
= 8 u + 2.4 u
= 10.4 u
10.4 u = 4056
1 u = 4056 ÷ 10.4 = 390
Fanny's salary before the increase
= 5 u
= 5 x 390
= $1950
Answer: $1950
