Question

Charlotte earns $2,120 per month at her job. She receives a 9% raise one months down then another 5% raid the next month. How much more money will Charlotte earn after she receives both raises?

Answer 1

To calculate Charlotte's earnings after receiving both raises, find the amount of each raise and add them to her monthly salary.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of money Charlotte will earn after both raises, we first need to find the amount of each raise.

First, we find the 9% raise: 9% of $2,120 = $190.80.

Then, we find the 5% raise: 5% of ($2,120 + $190.80) = $115.50.

Finally, we add both raises to Charlotte's monthly salary: $2,120 + $190.80 + $115.50 = $2,426.30.
