Respuesta :

Answer: $597015

Explanation:

Let the salary of the starter be x.

Since Jamal earns $400,000 and makes 67% of what starters make, then this can be written mathematically as:

67% of x = $400000

67% × x = $400,000

67/100 × x = $400,000

0.67 × x = $400,000

0.67x = $400,000

x = $400,000 / 0.67

x = $597014.93

x = $597015

His next salary will be $597015
