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.
1. Convert \( \frac{62}{3}\% \) to a decimal:
\[
\frac{62}{3} = 20.67 \text{ (approximately)}
\]
So, \( 20.67\% = \frac{20.67}{100} = 0.2067 \).
2. Calculate the amount of the decrease:
\[
\text{Decrease} = 180 \times 0.2067 \approx 37.20.
\]
3. 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**.
