per hour.

Work out how much Charlotte earns per hour after her pay
rise.

Answer 1

£9.01.

Explanation:

This question wants us to find the amount of money Charlotte earns if she received a 6% pay rise.

In other words, this question is asking to find 106% of £8.50.

To find:

Multiply £8.50 by 3/50.

By doing so, we'll find the 6% pay rise.

`8.50(3/50)=0.51`

Add 0.51 to 8.50:

Sum = £9.01.
