Answer:

$1800

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approanch

An easy way to calculate one's salary after they recive a raise is to, convert the percent that one's salary is increased into a decimal; divide the percent by 100. Then multiply the increase as a decimal by the original salary, to attain the amount the salary is raised by. Finally add the amount the salary is raised by to the original salary to find the new salary. A quicker way to do this is to convert the percent by the salary is increased into a decimal. Then add 1 to that number. Finally one will multiply that number by the original slary and get the new salary.

2. Solving

Original salary; 1500

Raise; 20%

<u>a. convert the raise as a percent into a decimal, then add 1</u>

20% = 0.2

0.2 + 1 = 1.2

<u>b. multiply the number by the original salary</u>

1.2 * 1500

1800

Answer:

$ 1800

Step-by-step explanation:

Rise in payment = 20% of 1500

                          = \frac{20}{100}*1500\\\\=20 *15\\\\= $300

New weekly wage = 1500 + 300

                                = $ 1800

Sketch the asymptotes and graph the function y=6/(x-2)+4
lana [24]
There will be a vertical asymptote when the denominator approaches zero. So the vertical asymptote is about the line x=2.

There will be a horizontal asymptote as x approaches ±oo where the y value will approach 4.  So the horizontal asymptote is about the line y=4
