Question

The corporate office sent out a memo stating that due to productivity increases, all salaried employees would receive 30% more annual leave in the next fiscal year. If an employee currently receives 9 days of leave, how much total leave will they receive after the increase?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 11 days and 16.8 hours of leaves they will receive after the increase.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of leaves = 9 days

Percentage of more annual leave in the next fiscal year = 30%

So, Increased number of leaves by

`(30)/(100)* 9\\\\=0.3* 9\\\\=2.7`

so, Total number of leaves they will receive after the increase is given by

`9+2.7\\\\=11.7\\\\=11\ days+(7)/(10)* 24=11\ days+16.8\ hours`

Hence, there are 11 days and 16.8 hours of leaves they will receive after the increase.

Answer 2

Basically, the question is asking, what will happen if we increase 9 by 30%?

first, what is 30% of 9?

`(30)/(100)*9= (3*9)/(10) =2.7`

So, the increase will be by 2.7 days,

So the total amount will be 9+2.7=11.7 - this is the correct answer.
