    5000 union members of a financially troubled company accepted a 17% pay cut. The company announced that this would save them approximately $108 million annually. Based on this information, calculate the average annual pay of a single union member

    Let the full salary of the union members be s. Since 17% is 0.17, We're given:
    0.17s = 108000000

    To solve this equation, we type it in our search engine and we get:
    s = 635,294,117.65

    Calculate the average annual pay of a single union member:
    Average Pay = Total Pay / Number of Union Members
    Average Pay = 635,294,117.65 / 5000
    Average Pay = 127,058.82
