Question

Mrs. Dunbar will receive a salary increase of

5%. If she now earns $650 a week, how
much will she earn after the raise?

Answer 1

I think u have to divide 650 by 100, multiply it by 5 and add that to 650 but I could be wrong

Answer 2

Move the decimal point over one & multiply it by $650.00. The answer is the rate of increase in salary. Take that answer & add it to her current earnings of $650.00. The answer to that will be the earnings after the increase.

$650.00 x .05= $32.50

650.00 + $32.50= $682.50
