Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is $38.50

Step-by-step explanation:

35 x 0.1 = 3.5 (0)

35 + 3.50 = 38.50

The reason we do 0.1 is because 10% written in decimal form is 0.1 and since 35.00 is a decimal we made the percent into a decimal to make it even.

Answer 2

$38.50 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

10% = 0.1

0.1 × 35.00 = 3.50

35.00 + 3.50 = 38.50
