Math: Using the percentage calculator linked below 6% of $40,000 is $2,400. Since you're getting your second raise after your first and since it is a 6% raise from what you're getting paid at that time we add pay raise 1 to your starting pay before calculating the 6% for pay raise 2. $40,000+$2,400=$42,400. 6% of $42,400 is $2,544. $42,400+$2,544=$44,944, Since that is two pay raises that would be your earnings at the end of year two (answer A). We continue calculating 6% then adding that onto the total before calculating it for the next year for problem B. 6% of $44,944 is $2,696.64. $44,944+$2,696.64=$47,640.64. 6% of $47,640.64 is $2,858.4384. $47,640.64+$2,858.4384=$50,499.0784. That's answer B.
Hopefully you can figure out C on your own! I feel a little bad for giving a partial answer but I think you can do this!
Percentage calculator used-https://percentagecalculator.net/ Note: can't handle commas, remove all commas before entering data in.
see expanded form is adding the digits together. and it would be what ever one number is times 10 to the power of how many digits are after that number. you skip the 0's though. hope this helps
