Because of losses by your employer, you agree to accept a temporary salary decrease of 10%. Your employer promises to give you a 10% pay raise in 6 months. Will the pay raise restore your original salary?

No. If you were making 10K, then a 10% decrease would have you making $9,000. If you get a 10% raise from 9K, your salary would be $9,900.

Nope.
You take a pay cut from 1 to .9 and then 10% of .9 is .09 so upping your pay again would only put you at .99 which is 1% less then you made before.

No it will not.
If Y > X then 10% of Y is > 10% of X.
So Y-10% does not equal X+10%.

No. Suppose you get $100/wk. After decrease, $90/wk. After raise, $99/wk.

No, because the base from which the percentage is computed is different in the two cases.
