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

Two number cubes (6 sided) are rolled at the same time. What is the probability that the first number cube will land on a 2 or 3
Reil [10]

Answer:

5/36 or approximately 13.88...%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to know the probability of rolling a 2 or 3. Because there are 6  sides, the probability is 2/6

Next, we have to find the probability of rolling an even number. With the numbers:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

1, 3, 5 are odd       2, 4, 6 are even

so, the probability of rolling an even number is 3/6

Finally, multiply the probabilities:

3/6*2/6=5/36

Answer:

5/36 or about 13.88%
