If a certain manager had received a 12.5% raise instead of the 8% raise that she actually received, her salary would have been $60,500. What was her actual salary after the raise? Choose the most appropriate option:	A) 55,000	B) 58,080	C) 59,290	D) 59,400	E) 61,620
No need of getting involved with decimals ..just work in fractions ..   salary(let X) included 10% increase can be written as   (1+12.5/100)X=60500   X=60500/1.125------&gt;53777.77   if there is 8% rise in 53777.77   then the salary now is 8% of 53777.77   8*53777.77/100=4302.22   then toal salary after increment=53777.77+4302.22-----&gt;58079.99   Ans 58,080
