Answer 1

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Gary's pay is $15 per hour. He receives a 6% pay raise.

Which method can Gary use to correctly calculate his new hourly pay rate?

Choose Yes or No for each method.

Answer:

Multiply 15 by 0.06 and add the result to 15 is the correct method

Step-by-step explanation:

Now when you are told to obtain the percentage, it simply means to multiply the given percentage by the number.

Here is what i mean;

6% of 15 simply means

6/100 * 15

Or

0.06 * 15 = 0.9

Since his basic pay of $15 was increased by this percentage, we have to add $0.9 so we have;

15 + 0.9 = $ 15.9
