Let the amount Skyler was making before the rasie be x
He had 3% pay increase
In terms of percentage, his new salary is now 100% + 3% = 103% of x
that is
103% of x = $2369
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{103}{100}x\text{ =2369} \\ 1.03x\text{ = 2369} \\ x=\frac{2369}{1.03} \\ x=2300 \end{gathered}[/tex]The amount he was making before the rasie was $2300
