Answer:

Original Salary: 5,957.14

Increase in 3%: 6,135.85

Step-by-step explanation:

So when something increases by x%, the new value is (100+x)% the original value. So 6255, is 105% the original value. This means to find the original value, we have to find the number that has 6255 as 105% of it's value. Whenever you try to find x% of a number, you multiply it by the decimal value of the percentage, which is found by dividing by 100. So to find x%, you do: o*\frac{x}{100} where o = original value, x=percent. In this case the percent is 105%, which when divided by 100 is 1.05. So this gives us the equation: o*1.05=6255 \implies o = \frac{6255}{1.05} = 5,957.14. This is his original salary. You need to do this process, do not make the mistake of subtracting 5% from 6255. This is because 5% of 6255 does not equal the 5% of the original value. 5% of 6255 should be greater than 5% of the original value, since the new value is an increase of 5%. So since we have his original salary, we can calculate the salary increase had it been 3%. to do this we multiply by 1.03 (103% divided by 100). This gives us the equation: 5,957.14*1.03=6,135.85

Suppose a standard twelve-hour clock now shows a time of 10:45 what time will the clock show in a 100 hour from now
o-na [289]
It should show 2:45. You can use 12 hr increments to get you back to 10:45 and 12 goes into 100 nine times bringing it to 96. Because of that you have 4 more hours to add to 10:45 and that brings you to 2:45.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Latest time for start hiking = 4:57 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time of sunset = 9:26 P.M

Time taken for hiking = 3 hours and 3 minutes (03:03)

Time taken for set up = 1 hour and 26 minutes (1:26)

Find:

Latest time for start hiking

Computation:

Latest time for start hiking = Time of sunset - Time taken for set up - Time taken for hiking

Latest time for start hiking = 9:26 - 1:26 - Time taken for hiking

Latest time for start hiking = 8:00 PM - 03:03

Latest time for start hiking = 7:60 - 03:03

Latest time for start hiking = 4:57 PM
