Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to convert 6% into a decimal, and multiply it to the previous yearly income to find the increase, and add that to the previous income to find the new salary.

6% = 0.06

82000 * 0.06 = 4920

The amount increase is 4920 dollars.

4920 + 82000 = 86920

Her new salary is 86,920 dollars.

Hope this helps!

The new yearly income is $86920.
Convert 6% into a decimal which is 0.06.
1ST METHOD:
82000*0.06=4290
4290+82000=86920
2ND METHOD:
0.06+1=1.06
82000*1.06=86920
