Question

Ms. Rangtonsmith make $25 dollars an hour. Her boss will be giving him a raise that is 1/5 of her current salary. How much money will Ms. Rangtonsmith be making AFTER he gets a raise?

Answer 1

Ms. Rangtonsmith will get $30 after raise

Explanation:

Current salary = $25

raise = 1/5 of current salary

substituting current salary with $25

raise in dollar value = 1/5 of $25 = 1/5 *$25 = $5

Thus, raise is $5

total salary after raise will be sum of current salary and raise

total salary after raise = $25 + $5 = $30

Thus, Ms. Rangtonsmith will get $30 after raise
