Answer:


Total = 1.02n

Explanation:

Given


Earnings = n


Raise = 2\% --- not 296


Total = n + 0.02n

Required

Simplify the expression for total earning

The total amount is derived from:


Total = Earnings + Raise * Earnings


Total = n + 2\% * n

Express percentage as decimal


Total = n + 0.02 * n

Now, we can solve further:


Total = n + 0.02n


Total = 1.02n

Hence, the simplified expression is 1.02n
