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>
The main reason why Congress worked to keep a balance between the number of slaveholding states and free states is because they wanted to avoid war breaking out between the North and the South. They tried to do this through a series of compromises that ultimately failed.
This so called reconstruction amendment prohibited the state of depriving any person of life, liberty, or poverty
