If Albert’s monthly earnings rise by 26%, he would earn $693. If, instead, his earnings rise by only 20%, how much (in $) would he earn this month?

(A) 643
(B) 652
(C) 660
(D) 690
(E) 693

\(= \frac{693}{1.26}*1.2\)

\(= 660\)

Answer is C.

Kudos Please... If my post helped.

You mean by dividing on 1.26 we found 100% or his ordinary monthly salary.
Later by multipliing by 1.2 we are getting 120%?

Thanx, it is now clear. I dunno why it was strange for me at first )).

The equation would be setup as follows:

\(693 * \frac{100}{126} * \frac{120}{100} = 660\)
