Anton's annual salary is 4/5 as much as Deborah's salary. Anton makes $88,000. Write and solve an equation to find Deborah's salary

Answer 1

Let x be Deborah's salary.
We know that Anton's salary is 4/5 * x = $88,000.
Thus, we can set up the equation 4/5 * x = $88,000 and solve for x.
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 5/4, we get x = $88,000 * 5/4 = $110,000.
Therefore, Deborah's salary is $110,000. Answer: \boxed{110000}.
