Answer:

$400

Explanation:

Given that:

Earnings per week for Amber = $200

Total increase in the salary as per Amber's hard work = 100%

To find:

Earnings of Amber now?

Solution:

We are given the initial salary and its percentage increase.

We have to find the increased value of salary.

Increase in the salary = 100% of $200


\Rightarrow (100)/(100)* \$200\\\Rightarrow \bold{\$200}

Amber's Current salary = Initial salary + Increase in the salary

Putting the values of the initial salary and increase in the salary:

Amber's Current salary = $200 + $200 = $400
