✔ 最佳答案

a) B=4 000 , S=130 000
so I = 4000 + 1/10(130 000)
= 4000 + 13 000
=17000
so his salary in last December is $17000.

b) B in January = 4000 x (1-5%)
= 4000 x 95%
= 3800
S in January = 130 000 x (1-8%) x (1/10)
= 130 000 x 92% x (1/10)
= 119600 x (1/10)
= 11960
I in January = B + S
= 3800 + 11960
= 15760

percentage change of Simon's monthly salary from
last December to this January：
= (I in January / I in December) x 100%
= (15760/17000) x 100%
=92.7%
