Answer:
$570
Step-by-step explanation:
500 * 1.2 = $600 after 20% pay raise
600 * .95 = $570 after 5% pay cut
Answer: she makes $570 per week now.
Ashley is making $500 a week at her job . She receives a 20 percent pay raise. The amount of raise that she received is
20/100 × 500 = 0.2 × 500 = 100
Her new pay per week becomes
500 + 100 = $600
A year later she takes a 5 percent cut. This means that her pay was reduced and the amount by which it was reduced is
5/100 × 600 = 0.05 × 600 = 30
The amount that she makes per week now would be
600 - 30 = $570
