One year, the tax on Miriam's superannuation contributions was $225.
Superannuation contributions are taxed at a flat rate of 15%. Miriam contributed 4% of her salary into the superannuation fund.

By first calculating how much she contributed into the fund and using the result, calculate Miriam's salary.

Someone explain the question and how to get the answer please :)

if 15% tax = $225
then total taxable salary = 225/0.15 = $ 1500

4% of her salary is into superannuation fund. that means taxable salary is 96%
96% ------------> $1500
his contribution to the fund is = (1500/0.96) * 0.04 = $62.5

therefore his total salary is = $1500+ $62.5= $ 1562.5
