Question A: $41159.3

Question B: 9.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

Pay cut of 9%

Original salary was $45230

Question A:

9% of 45230

9/100 of 45230

9/100 x 45230

(9 x 45230) / 100

407070/100=4070.7

Paycut was $4070.7

salary after paycut 45230 - 4070.7=41159.3

Salary after paycut=$41159.3

Question B

Percentage change = (45230-41159.3) / 41159.3 x 100

Percentage change=4070.7/41159.3 x 100

Percentage change=9/91 x 100

Percentage change = (9x100) / 91

Percentage change=900/91

Percentage change=9.9
