he did last year. If he earned $50,000 last year,
how many dollars will he earn this year?
Please answer quickly! Thank you!

Answer 1

$57,500

Step-by-step explanation: If 15% of 50,000 is 7500, then you would add 7500 to 50,000 since the question says he will earn 15% more.

50,000+7500=57,500

So, Mr.Thomas will earn $57,500 this year.
