To find the new salary after a decrease of \( \frac{62}{3}% \), we first need to convert the percentage into a decimal and then calculate the decrease.
-
Convert \( \frac{62}{3}% \) to a decimal: \[ \frac{62}{3} = 20.67 \text{ (approximately)} \] So, \( 20.67% = \frac{20.67}{100} = 0.2067 \).
-
Calculate the amount of the decrease: \[ \text{Decrease} = 180 \times 0.2067 \approx 37.20. \]
-
Subtract the decrease from the original salary: \[ \text{New Salary} = 180 - 37.20 \approx 142.80. \]
Thus, the new salary after the decrease is approximately #142.80.
