Answer:

Is Mary a guy?  :|  

Step-by-step explanation:

I did this by just a good guess  , not really the right way

2000*.45=900  ( 900 is the old savings)

2000*.2 =400   ( how much her salary went down by )

2000-400=1600 ( new salary )

1600*.45 = 720    ( 45% of new salary is new savings

900-720=180      ( change in savings is 180 , the amount the question asks for)

Mary's old salary was 2,000
