Question

A shoe sales associate earned $300 in November. In December she earned 8% more than she did in November. How much she earn in December? *

Answer 1

$24.. 8% of $300 equals 24 so the associate made $324 dollars in December. 24+300=324

Answer 2

$324.00

Explanation:

Increase the number by 8% of its value.

Percentage increase = 8% × 300

New value =

300 + Percentage increase =

300 + (8% × 300) =

300 + 8% × 300 =

(1 + 8%) × 300 =

(100% + 8%) × 300 =

108% × 300 =

108 ÷ 100 × 300 =

108 × 300 ÷ 100 =

32,400 ÷ 100 =

324
