Question

Cara started working for $9 per hour. She earns a 4% raise every year. What is her

hourly wage after three years?"

Answer 1

Caras hourly wage is $10.08 after 3 years

Explanation:

4% of 9

0.04 x 9 = 0.36

then you multiply 0.36 by 3 because you are solving for 3 years.

0.36 x 3 = 1.08

then you add 1.08 to 9 because Cara's wage goes up $1.08 in 3 years

1.08 + 9 = 10.08

answer:

Cara's hourly wage is $10.08 after 3 years of working
