Question

If a woman making $36,000 a year receives a cost-of-living increase of 2.1%, what will her new salary be?

Answer 1

Her new salary is $36756

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to know how much 2.1% of 36000 is, so:

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(2.1)=(36000)/(100) \\ x=(36000\cdot2.1)/(100) \\ x=756 \end{gathered}`

That corresponds to the cost of living increase.
