Question

Suppose you earn $6 an hour at you part time job. What will you new hourly rate be after a 2.5% raise. Explain. Please Help me with this one!!

Answer 1

$6.15 an hour

Explanation:

To find how much money our raise is, we can multiply the percent times our salary

6 * .025 = .15

Our raise is 15 cents an hour

Take what we were making plus our raise

6+.15

$6.15

This is what we will be making per hour.
