Question

B. Mills works as a construction worker. He makes a salary of 54,200 a year. After

this year his boss decided to give him a 3.5% raise. What is his new salary?

Answer 1

$56,097

Explanation:

First, we have to figure out how much his raise was, so we can convert 3.5% directly to a decimal:

3.5% = 0.035

Then we find

3.5% of 54,200 = 0.035 x 54,200 = 1,897

1,897 + 54,200 = 56,097

So, Mills new salary is $56,097

hope this helps:)
