Question

What does it mean to get a 150% salary raise? Explain in words and then give an example showing a calculation.

Answer 1

Giving a 150% salary raise would mean that your salary is going up by 150% meaning if you have a 46,000 salary, the raise would make it to where your salary is now going to be 69,000. 46,000*150%=69,000 or 46,000*1.5=69000

Answer 2

Answer: 150% salary raise means that there is a increment in the salary of 150%.

Explanation:

Let Marina is getting a salary of $4500 after working as a teacher in a school. She has got 150% salary raise this month.

Then her new salary = $4500+150% of $4500

`=4500+(150)/(100)*4500\\=4500+150*45\\=\$4500+\$6750=\$11250`

Thus, Marina will get $11250 as new salary.
