Question

For the first 8 months at his new job, James gets

Answer 1

James receives a pay increase of 100% per month and has a starting salary of $500.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let b represent the rate of pay increase and a represent the initial pay.

Let us assume that he had received 128000 after the 8 months. hence:

128000 = ab⁸   (1)

Also in the 10th month, he had received 512000, hence:

512000 = ab¹⁰    (2)

From the both equations:

a = 500, b = 2

rate of increase = 200% - 100% = 100%

James receives a pay increase of 100% per month and has a starting salary of $500.
