Answer: Her new salary would be $2.48

Explanation:

1. take 10% of the current salary to figure how much the raise is.

2.25 x 0.1 = 0.225

2. round that number to the nearest hundredth (money only goes to the hundredths)

0.225 --> 0.23

3. now add that number back to the original salary to find the new salary

0.23 + 2.25 = 2.48

Final answer: the new salary is $2.48
