Answer:
2.73%
Explanation:
First at all, we need to calculate the raise of the salary due only to inflation:
42.500 x ( 1 + 2.8%) = 43.998,4 USD.
The real increase is the difference between the previous calculation and the 45.200 dollars. Then, we need to know which percentage is necessary to increase the salary up to 42.500.
43.998,4 * ( 1 + x%) = 45.200
43.998,4 + 43.998,4 * x% = 45.200
43.998,4 * x% = 1201.6
x% = 1201.6 / 43.998,4
<h2>x% = 2.73</h2>
