Question

John makes $400 per week. What does it mean for him to get a 150% salary raise? Explain in words and then give an example showing a calculation

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation & Answer:

It means he gets 150% of more money than he does right now.

If you solve how much money he will earn more with the percentage you would first have to turn the 150% into a decimal.

The decimal would become a 1.50.

Then you would do 400 × 1.50, which would equal 600.

600 is the amount of money he will make after the 150% percent raise.

So the final answer would be $600.
