Question

Jim’s pay is £180 each week.

Jim asks his boss for an increase of £20 a week.
Jim’s boss offers him a 10% increase.

Find how much Jim will be paid with the increase offered by his boss.

Answer 1

£198

Explanation:

£180 is 100%

10% of 180 is 180/10,

this is 18.

As it is a 10% increase you add that 18 onto 180 and you get 198.
