Question

Last year, Suzie's salary was $76,000. This year, she is getting a 8% raise. What will her new salary be?

Answer 1

82,080

Explanation:

To increase a number by it's percentage, you must first extract what 8% of 76,000 is (6080). Then, you must add the original number to what is 8% of it, to get 82,080, and that, is the final answer.

Answer 2

`76000*1.08=\boxed{82,080}`
