Answer :

Answer: $2400

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Maria got a hike of 3%.

After the hike she earns $2472 each month

Suppose, before hike she earns x each month

[tex]\Rightarrow x+x\times 3\%=2472\\\Rightarrow x(1+0.03)=2472\\\Rightarrow 1.03x=2472\\\Rightarrow x=\$2400[/tex]

Thus, she earns $2400 before the hike.
