Question

Kiara earns $7.25 per hour working at the local sandwichshop. She receives a 5% raise (increase in pay). What are her new hourly earnings? Round to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Answer:

$7.61

Explanation:

To find raise, you multiply your current pay (7.25) and multiply it by the percentage of raise (5%), 7.25 x 5= 36.25 (this is 36 cents) and you would then add the 5% (36 cents) to 7.25 to get the pay: 7.61 (7.25+0.36).
