Question

Before a raise, Sophie earned $230.00 each week at a grocery store. She received a 3% raise. Which expression represents Sophie’s new earnings?

Answer 1

Answer: Her new earnings will be $236.9.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount Sophie earned each week at a grocery store = $230.00

Rate of growth she received = 3%

So, Sophie's new earnings is given by

`230((100+3)/(100))\\\\=230* (103)/(100)\\\\=230* 1.03\\\\=\$236.9`

So, Her new earnings will be $236.9.
