Answer:

Jack's gross pay was $2625


Step-by-step explanation:

Jack pays 20% tax on his gross pay.

After tax, Jack's pay was $2100.


This means "20% subtracted from WHICH NUMBER (gross pay) will give us 2100?"

We can translate this statement into an equation (letting gross pay be [tex]x[/tex]):

[tex]x-(0.2)(x)=2100\\0.8x=2100\\x=\frac{2100}{0.8}\\x=2625[/tex]


Hence, Jack's gross pay was $2625.
