Answer:

Now he earns $11.66 per hour.

Explanation:

6% raise

This means that now the employees will earn 100% + 6% = 106% = 1.06 of the previous amount they earned, that is, their previous earnings will be multiplied by 1.06.

Paul used to earn $11 an hour now he earns

Multiplying by 1.06

11*1.06 = 11.66

Now he earns $11.66 per hour.
