Well, 5% of $27,195.00 = $1,359.75. So, $27,195.00 - $1,359.75 = $25,835.25.
Therefore, the salary (one "l" not two) before the 5% raise was $25,835.25.

New salary = (105/100) * Old salary.
Divide both sides by (105/100):
New salary / (105/100) = Old salary.
That is, Old salary = 27195/(105/100) = 25,900
(don't forget units, i.e. dollars/pounds/whatever)

25900 (unit).
Let old salary = x.
x + 5% of x =27195
:. x + 5x/100=27195
:. (100x + 5x) / 100 = 27195 (taking 100 as LCM)
:. 105x/100=27195
:. x = 27195*100/105
:. x = 25900
ABRA KADABRA!!
