Question

Suppose you earn $6 per hour at your part-time job. What will your new hourly rate be after a 2.5% raise? Please Explain.

Answer 1

Let if you earn $100 per hour a raise of 2.5% means you will get $102.5.
i.e 102.5% of earlier.
in case of $6, it will be its 102.5%, = 102.5*6/100 = $6.15 per hour.
