Answer 1

Answer:

$Total = 1.02n$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Earnings = n$

$Raise = 2\%$ --- not 296

$Total = n + 0.02n$

Required

Simplify the expression for total earning

The total amount is derived from:

$Total = Earnings + Raise * Earnings$

$Total = n + 2\% * n$

Express percentage as decimal

$Total = n + 0.02 * n$

Now, we can solve further:

$Total = n + 0.02n$

$Total = 1.02n$

Hence, the simplified expression is 1.02n
