Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given salary of A is half the salary of B.

Let us assume the salary of B as $100.

Then salary of A will be $50.

The % increase in A salary is 50%.

So A's increase in salary is 1/2 * $50 = $25.

The % increase in B salary is 25%.

So B's increase in salary is 1/4*$100 = $25.

Total increase in their salary is = $25+$25 =50.

Total of their Initial salary was = $50 + $100 = $150.

%increase in both their salaries combined = (50/150)*100 = 33 1/3 = 33.33%
