Question

8. Naomi is given a 10% pay decrease. Her new wage is £252 per week. What would be her weekly wage if, instead, she had received a 10% pay increase?

Answer 1

Answer: £308

Step-by-step explanation:

£252=90%

£252/90=2.8 (what 1% is worth)

2.8x10 (10%)

£252 + £28= £280 (original amount)

£280 + £28=£308 (new amount with increase)
