8.4 because 6 would round up to 10 and 10+30 =40 for 8.40 or just 8.4
The employee will need to figure out how many groups of 0.4 points they have beyond a score of 2.6. To do this subtract 3.4 and 2.6.
3.4 - 2.6 = 0.8
This is two groups of 0.4.
So, 0.5% + 1% + 1%= 2.5 % pay increase.
8x+9-4x=25
4x+9=25
4x+9-9=25-9
4x=16
4x/4=16/4
X=4
