at a local appliance manufacturing facility , the workers received a 10 % hourly pay raise due to extraordinary performance . if one worker decided to reduce the number of hours that he worked so that his overall pay would remain unchanged , by approximately what percent would he reduce the number of hours that he worked ?
let ' s say he works usually 10 hours and earns 100 per hour . 10 * 100 = 1000 10 * 110 = 1100 ( this are the new earnings after the raise ) to figure out how much he needs to work with the new salary in order to earn the original 1000 : 1000 / 110 = 9.09 so he can reduce his work by 0.91 hours . which is > 9 % . answer e
subtract(10, const_1)
