Question

A persons salary is $6000. He got an increment of 10%. What is his new salary?

Answer 1

10% or 6000 = 600. so 6000+ 600 = 6600

Answer 2

First you would find what 10% of 6000 is, so:

`0.10 * 6000 = 600`

10% would turn into 0.10 because when converting percents to decimals you have to move the decimal place 2 spaces over.
