The total salary is $45000

Divide 10% by 100 to express the value as a decimal: 10/100= 0.1

Let x represent the previous salary.

If the previous salary was increased by 10% this means that they calculated the 10% of X and added it to the salary for the increase, symbolically:

x+0.1x=45000

1.1x=45000

x= 45000/1.1

x= 40909.09≅ $40910
