0.99999696 is your answer I am pretty sure.
Answer:
Original Salary: 
Increase in 3%: 
Step-by-step explanation:
So when something increases by x%, the new value is (100+x)% the original value. So 6255, is 105% the original value. This means to find the original value, we have to find the number that has 6255 as 105% of it's value. Whenever you try to find x% of a number, you multiply it by the decimal value of the percentage, which is found by dividing by 100. So to find x%, you do: 
where o = original value, x=percent. In this case the percent is 105%, which when divided by 100 is 1.05. So this gives us the equation: 
. This is his original salary. You need to do this process, do not make the mistake of subtracting 5% from 6255. This is because 5% of 6255 does not equal the 5% of the original value. 5% of 6255 should be greater than 5% of the original value, since the new value is an increase of 5%. So since we have his original salary, we can calculate the salary increase had it been 3%. to do this we multiply by 1.03 (103% divided by 100). This gives us the equation: 
3<em>x</em> ² - 2<em>x</em> + 1 = 2<em>x</em> ² - 3<em>x</em> + 7
<em>x</em> ² + <em>x</em> - 6 = 0
(<em>x</em> + 3) (<em>x</em> - 2) = 0
<em>x</em> + 3 = 0 <u>or</u> <em>x</em> - 2 = 0
<em>x</em> = -3 <u>or</u> <em>x</em> = 2
Add (11/2)^2 to both sides
x^2 + 11x + (11/2)^2 = 3 + (11/2)^2
x^2 + 11x + (11/2)^2 = 133/4
(x + 11/2)^2 = 133/4
x + 11/2 = sqrt of (133/4)
Solutions are
x = (sqrt of (133) - 11))/2
x = (-sqrt of (133) -11))/2
