Answer:
at matilda's new job, she will make a rounded salary of $69,000 per year.
Explanation:
when solving a problem like this, you have to take her current salary ($64,000 per year) and multiply it to the salary increase percentage by first turning the percentage into a decimal. to turn the percentage into a decimal, you imagine a tiny dot to the right of the 8 like this:
8.
and then you have to move that little dot to the left two times recreating it into .08. you multiply .08 (the salary increase percentage) by her current salary ($64,000) and then also add that number to matilda's current salary to come up with the answer you can round. I'll give you an example of my proscess just so I can give a clear visual of my explanation.
step one:
$64,000
x .08
-------------
5,120
step 2:
$64,000
+$5,120
-------------
$69,120
step 3:
$69,120 is rounded up to the nearest thousands is approximately $69,000
answer: $69,000
