Salutations!

If a bank manager gets an 8% salary increase on her $35,000 salary, how much will her new salary be.

So lets solve this!

The questions obviously states that it is "percentage increase", so after performing all the calculations, we need to again add 35,000.

35, 000 × 8/ 100

To make the sum easier, cancel out the zeros ----

350 × 8/ 100

Multiply 350 by 8 ----

350 × 8 = 2,800

Divide 2, 800 by 1. It would be hundred, but since we have cancelled out the zeros earlier, it would be as 1.

2,800÷ 1 = 2,800

Now, we come to the point of "percentage increase".

We have to add 2,800 and 35,000 to get the bank manager's new salary.

2,800 + 35,000 = 37,800.

Thus, the new salary of the bank manager is $ 37,800.

Hope I helped :D
