Marisol receives total employee benefits that are 14.5% of her gross annual pay. If Marisol has a gross annual pay of $50,000, how much in total employee benefits does she receive?

Answer 1

7250! It is that because if you search up 14.5% of 50000 it gives you 7250! I hope this benifits you!

Answer 2

If Marisol has a gross annual pay of $50,000 and receives total employee benefits of 14.5% of her gross annual pay, then you can find how many benefits she receives, using proportion:

$\ 50,000 - 100\%,\\ \ x - 14,5\%$.

Then

$\dfrac{50000}{x} =\dfrac{100}{14.5} ,\\\\ x=\dfrac{50000\cdot 14.5}{100}=500\cdot 14.5=7250$.

In total she will receive $50,000+$7250=$57250.

Answer: $57250.
