The question is incomplete, the complete question is;
Gary's pay is $15 per hour. He receives a 6% pay raise.
Which method can Gary use to correctly calculate his new hourly pay rate?
Choose Yes or No for each method.
Answer:
Multiply 15 by 0.06 and add the result to 15 is the correct method
Step-by-step explanation:
Now when you are told to obtain the percentage, it simply means to multiply the given percentage by the number.
Here is what i mean;
6% of 15 simply means
6/100 * 15
Or
0.06 * 15 = 0.9
Since his basic pay of $15 was increased by this percentage, we have to add $0.9 so we have;
15 + 0.9 = $ 15.9
