Question

Marco makes $36,000 a year if he recives a 5% raise what will be his annual pay

Answer 1

36000 x 5% = $1800

36000 + 1800 = $37800

$37800 will be his annual pay after the 5% raise

Check your work by subtracting 37800 from 36000 and getting 1800. With 1800, divide it by original salary (1800/36000=0.05) 0.05 as a percent is 5%
