Question

A worker in the UK is paid 22,000 GBP per year as a gross salary. Her pay is increased by 11.5%. What is her new salary? Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

Answer 1

Explanation:

First mulitply the current salary by 11.5% to find the increase.

Change 11.5% into a decimal by moving the decimal two places to the left.

11.5% becomes .115.

22000 × .115 = 2530 - the increase

22000 + 2530 = 24530 GBP

The new gross salary.
