Answer: The answer is $36,015. Can't tell you what letter it is, but the math goes like this...

Step-by-step explanation: Original Salary is $35,000, with a 2.9% increase.

1. Take the Original Salary of $35,000 and (Multiply It) by 2.9%

35,000 x 2.95= 1015 ( cost of living increase)

2. Take the extra cost of living increase money, the $1015.00 and (ADD) it to your Original Salary $35,000

$35,000.00 + $1015.00= $36,015.00 = Her, New Salary

Good Luck, I hope this helps.
