Question

If Mr. Richards is making $18 an hour and gets a 12% raise. How much is his new hourly rate after his 12% raise?

Answer 1

Answer:

$20.16

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find 12% of his current hourly rate, 12% is our decimal multiplier here so we use 0.12. In order to get 12% we need to multiply our decimal by $18 which is:

$18 × 0.12 = $2.16

Now let's add this 12% on top of his current hourly rate.

$18 + $2.16 = $20.16

And that's the final answer.

Answer 2

ANSWER:
20.16$ an hour

EXPLICATION:
18$ an hour present 100% of his rate.
How much is 12% present of his rate?

100%—->18$
12%—->12x18/100=2.16$

So 12% presents 2.16$
We add it to his rate:
18+2.16=20.16$
