Solution

To find Sadie's original salary, we need to understand that the current salary is the result of adding the original salary and the raise. The raise is 1.5% of the original salary. So, we can set up the equation as follows:

Original Salary + 0.015 * Original Salary = $41,450.39

This simplifies to:

1.015 * Original Salary = $41,450.39

To find the original salary, we divide the current salary by 1.015:

Original Salary = $41,450.39 / 1.015

Now, calculate the above expression to find the original salary.

After finding the original salary, we can find the amount of the raise by subtracting the original salary from the current salary.
