ANSWER: $27.60

STEP BY STEP:

You have to multiply 24 by 15%. Start by changing 15% into a decimal of .15. Then multiply 24 by .15 to get an answer of $3.60. This is how much more Mr. Jimerson will earn. Then add the original amount he earned by the amount the is now gaining. This gets you $27.60.
