Respuesta :

Answer:

There is 55%  of decrease in Greg's pay.

Step-by-step explanation:

The old payment received by Greg annually = $52,860

The new payment received  = $23,787

The Decrease in the payment annually =   Old payment - New payment

= $52,860 - $23,787 =  $29,073

So, the total decrease in the Greg's salary next year  = $29,073

Now,[tex]\textrm{The percentage decrease in the salary}  = \frac{\textrm{Decrease in the salary}}{\textrm{Iniial Salary}}  \times 100[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{29,073}{52,860}  \times 100 =  55[/tex]

Hence, there is 55%  of decrease in Greg's pay.
