Answer:
The equation is 3/10 × s = 162
Alexandra's salary before taxes for the pay period was $540
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Alexander's salary before taxes
=s
3/10 if Alexander's take home pay is $162 after taxes
3/10 of s = $162
The equation is
3/10 × s = 162
Divide both sides by 3/10
s = 162 ÷ 3/10
= 162 × 10/3
= 1620 / 3
= $540
Alexandra's salary before taxes for the pay period was $540
