Question

Muhammad is paid x dollars an hour. He received a 10% raise. Which expression can Michael use to calculate his new hourly wage?

Answer 1

Answer: 1.1x

Explanation:

Muhammad is getting paid x dollars and receives a raise of 10% of those x dollars.

New hourly wage is therefore:

= x + (10% * x)

= x + 10%x

= x + 0.1x

= 1.1x
