Answer 1

a By what percentage did Gimot's salary increase? b. What is the annual salary at this new rate?

[(424-400)/400]*100=6%

b. What is the annual salary at this new rate?​

52 weeks in a year

annual salary before increase: 400*52=20,800

annual salary after increase: 424*52=22,048

% increase in annual salary

[(22,048-20,800)/20,800]*100= 6%

Explanation:

Answer 2

a. 6% increase

b. K22048

Explanation:

a. To calculate the percentage increase, first calculate the difference between the old and new salary by subtracting the old from the new:

new salary - old salary = difference between salaries

424 - 400 = 24

Then divide the difference (24) by the original value (400). and multiply by 100 to make it a percentage.

(difference ÷ original value) x 100 = percentage increase

(24 ÷ 400) x 100 = 6%

therefore there was a 6% increase in his weekly wage

b. to calculate the new salary over a year, multiply the weekly salary by the number of weeks in a year.

weekly salary x 52 = annual salary

K424 x 52 = K22048

therefore Gimot's annual salary is K22048
