Question

The problem we are working is:

Sara’s boss informed her she is getting a 5% raise. She currently makes $22 per hour. What is her new hourly wage?

Use your plan of multiplying 5100 and $22. What is the amount of Sara's raise?

Answer 1

Her new hourly wage will be $23.10

Explanation:

5/100 * 22= 1.1

1.1 + 22= 23.1

$23.10

Answer 2

Her new hourly wage will be $23.10

Explanation:

First, let's find out how much her raise is in dollars.

0.05 x 22 = 1.10

Then, let's add that to her current wage.

1.10 + 22.00 = $23.10

Hope this helps! Have a great Monday!
