Question

A worker earns $27.50 per hour if she receives a 5.5% pay raise what is the amount of her hourly raise (round to the nearest cent as needed)

Answer 1

Explanation:

$29.01 is the right answer i guess

Answer 2

To find the amount of the hourly raise, we need to calculate 5.5% of the current hourly wage and add it to the current hourly wage.

5.5% of $27.50 can be found by multiplying $27.50 by 0.055:

$27.50 x 0.055 = $1.5125

So the hourly raise is $1.51 (rounded to the nearest cent).

To find the new hourly wage, we add the hourly raise to the current hourly wage:

$27.50 + $1.51 = $29.01

So the worker's new hourly wage after the 5.5% pay raise is $29.01.
