New salary

Question

If an employee is making $25 an hour and gets a 10% raise, what is his new salary?

 

A. $35

 

B. $27.50

 

C. $25.10

 

D. $30

Answer 1

There are some calculations that have to be done to answer this question. 

 

First, let's determine what 10% of $25 is. This can be calculated in the following way:

 

25 x 0.10 = 2.5

 

Next, let's add that value to the current wage of $25:

 

25 + 2.5 = 27.50 

 

The answer to this question is therefore B, $27.50
