Question

i need to answer the question:

 

if i earn 2% more for every person and there are 3035 people how much more will i make

Answer 1

X = original amount of money earned with no people

(Remember, 2% = .02)

 

This is the equation to use:

Step one:  x * percentage = x * .02 = .02x

Step two:  .02x * people = .02x * 3035 = 60.7x

 

60.7x will be your answer until you have a numerical value for x.
