Then multiply the increase as a decimal by the original salary, to attain the amount the salary is raised by. Finally add the amount the salary is raised by to the original salary to find the new salary. A quicker way to do this is to convert the percent by the salary is increased into a decimal. Then add 1 to that number. Finally one will multiply that number by the original slary and get the new salary.
2. Solving

<u>b. multiply the number by the original salary</u>
No. We have 3 angles of triangle ABC congruent to 3 corresponding angles of triangle LMN. That is AAA. To use ASA, you need two angles and an included side. With three angles, you can prove the triangles similar, but not congruent.
