Answer 1

Her new salary per month is $2750.

Explanation:

Given:

A person’s salary is $2500 per month.

She receives a 10% raise.

Now, to find the new salary.

Salary per month = $2500.

She receives raise = 10% of $2500.

Now, to get the new salary:

`2500+10\%\ * 2500`

=
`2500+(10)/(100) * 2500`

`=2500+0.10* 2500`

`=2500+250`

`=2750.`

Hence, the new salary = $2750.

Therefore, her new salary per month is $2750.
