Answer 1

$40 because a 5% increase would make her new salary $840

Answer 2

Answer: $ 40.

Explanation:

Her weekly salary will be going up 5% of her current weekly salary.

So, you have to calculate the 5% of $ 800.

Calculation:

Increase = 5% * $ 800 = 5 * $800 / 100 = $ 40.

So the weekly salary increase is $ 40 and the new weekly salary is $ 800 + $ 40 = $ 840.

Answer: $ 40.
