Answer:

19.206

Explanation:

First you need to find out 10% of 18.

You can do that by 18/100 which is .18.

Then multiply that by 10 which is 1.8 (10% of 18)

His hourly rate decreased by 3% AFTER his raise so you would find 3% of 19.8 and not 18.

You do the same process and divide 19.8/100

Then multiply this by 3 and you can get 0.594

That is how much his raise decreased by so you would subtract it from 19.8

19.8 - 0.594 = 19.206 (Round if needed)

Hope this helps
