If x=47% of my yearly salary, at this current rate how do I figure my yearly salary for the remaining 53% is?

Question

So let me explain this a little better:

As of my last paycheck I have earned X amount of dollars which, given that the year is 47% over for that pay period how would I figure the remaining 53% is if I assume my pay will be at the same rate. I know I figure this out by multiplying my hourly rate and blah blah, I just want to know what the algebraic equation would be.

Answer 1

53/47 multiplied by X

Answer 2

Take the amount you've earned so far (X) and divide it by the 47% for the amount of the year that has past. This will give you the total annual salary. Then just subtract from that number what you've earned so far (X).

(X/.47) - X = salary remaining.

Example: earned 23,500 so far.

(23,500/.47) = 50,000 annually. 50,000 - 23,500 = 26,500 remaining salary to be paid. (26,500/50,000 = 53%)
