Question

You earn a salary of R6 000 per month. Your employer indicates that he will give you a 20% increase. How much will your salary be after the increase?​

Answer 1

R7,200

Explanation:

We find the new salary by multiplying the old salary by 20% and adding this value to the old salary.

Thus, we have 6,000 + (6,000 * 0.20) = 6,000 + 1,200 = R7,200
