Answer 2

Explanation:

Don't worry we will take care of everything. It's easy. listen carefully

1. we know the salary of each employee, before raise. and also their raise %age.

2. CONCEPT:- FOR EMPLOYEE (JANE) -

AMOUNT RAISED ON HER SALARY= 4% of $41000

= ( 4/100)× 41000

= $1640 (this is the raised amount in jane original salary)

3. similarly , you can also find raised amount for jhon and jack which will be $1953 and $1182 respectively.

4. for final solution, you just have to add all the raised amount in their original salary. hence final solution will be

= $1640 + $1953 + $1182

= $ 4775 (final solution).
