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?
126/100 * X = 693
X = 550

120/100 * 550 = 660

Hence, C.

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


Let x = the pre-raise earnings. We can create the equation:

1.26x = 693

x = 693/1.26 = 550

So after a 20% raise, he earns 550 * 1.2 = 660 dollars.

Answer: C
