Answer:  \textsf{4.86 per hour}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given: \textsf{Initial wage = 4.50, Increase = 8\%}

Find:  \textsf{New hourly wage}

Solution: The first step would be to create an expression to incapsulate the scenario and then we would solve for the new hourly wage and we would get our answer.

<u>Create an expression</u>

  • \textsf{New = Initial * (1 + Increase)}
  • \textsf{New = 4.50 * (1 + 8\%)}
  • \textsf{New = 4.50 * (1 + 0.08)}

<u>Simplify the expression</u>

  • \textsf{New = 4.50 * (1.08)}
  • \textsf{New = 4.86 hourly wage}

We were able to determine that the new hourly wage after an increase of 8% would be 4.86 per hour.
