Question

10. Rosa received a monthly raise of $162.50. If this represented a 6.5% increase, what is her monthly salary after the raise?

Answer 1

$137.5

Explanation:

First, you need to divide $162.50 by 6.5

If you divide correctly you should get 25

Since that month she got an increase, which means you have to subtract 25 from $162.50.

Answer: $137.5

Answer 2

$187.05 because you divide her raise by the percent increase and you get 25. So then you add 25 to 162.50
