Answer:
her pay after a year of working should be $9.68
her pay after two years of working should be $11.72
Step-by-step explanation:
a. assuming her pay is raised 10% of her current salary instead of 10% of her <em>original</em> pay of $8 an hour,
her first pay raise after 6 months should be $8.80.
8.00 * 0.1 = 0.80 this number represents how much her raise is
then the pay raise after the next 6 months should be $9.68
8.80 * 0.1 = 0.88 + 8.80 (her current salary) = $9.68
her pay after a year of working should be $9.68
b. her third raise (after a year and a half) is $10.65
9.68 * 0.1 = 0.97 (we round to the nearest 100th place since money is only in the 100th place)
9.68 (current salary) + 0.97 = $10.65
her fourth raise (at 2 years) is $11.72
10.65 * 0.1 = 1.07
10.65 (current salary) + 1.07 = $11.72
her pay after two years of working should be $11.72
