Saying she got a four percent raise is the same as saying that her new salary is 104% of her old salary.
104% is the same as 1.04.
So 1.04x = 35980

the 4% raise implies that 104% represents $ 35980...
Therefore the present salary is 100% ... hence,
present salary= $35980/104 * 100
= $34596 (to the nearest whole number)

Look at it this way- If Francoise's new salary is her old salary + 4%, then it is 104% of her old salary. This is 104/100 = 1.04 x her old salary.
So, if her old salary is 'x', then 1.04x = 35980.
Rearrange: x = 35980/1.04 = $34596.

Let y = present salary
Then y + 0.04y = 35,980
1.04y = 35,980
y = 34,596.15

35980 = x + .04 x
1.04 x = 35980
x = 35980 / 1.04
x = $34596.15
