Question

Marie earns £340 each week.She is given a 6.5% pay rise. How much does she earn each week after the pay rise?

Answer 1

£362.1

Explanation:

6.5% =

6.5 / 100 =

65 / 1000 = 0.065

£340 * 0.065 = £22.1 => £22.1 is the pay raise in terms of English pounds(£)

Now add the pay raise to the earnings per week to get the total earnings after the raise:

£22.1 + £340 =

£22.1 + £340.0 = £362.1
