Answer:
The salary after four consecutive increase = $ 46794.34 
Step-by-step explanation:
According to question, 
salary of MR. John = $ 40000 per year
percentage py increase = 4%
Let the salary after four consecutive pay increase = x
So, X = 40000 (1 + )^4
)^4
Or, X = 40000 ( )^4
)^4
Or, X = 46794.34
Hence the salary increase after four consecutive pay increase at 4% = $46794.34  Answer 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Hey their,
3/4 
1/4
1/12
1/36
0/60
The pattern is -1/x every 2 +x/8 
How i got this was 36/12=3
3*12=36
so 60-36=24
24x3/2+24=60
then 60/5=12
Hopethis helped
        
             
        
        
        
Hi there! 
Here is what the rules says 
+ * + = +  (Plus times plus = plus)
+*- = - (Plus times minus = minus)
- * - = + (Minus times minus = Plus
- * + = -  (minus times plus = minus)
You need to know the rules by heart because you will use it a lot. 
So let see how it works with the problem 
6 -(-7)
What does the rules say? It says 
- * - = plus   
So, we gonna use PLUS for the sign 
6-(-7) = 6 + 7 = 13 
13 is the correct answer. 
I hope I helped. Please let me know if you have more questions.
