Terry earns a salary of $36,000 per year. he is paid once per month. he receives a 2.5% pay raise.
how much more money is terry earning each month?
$25
$75
$90

$75

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Terry is paid once a month and earns $36000 in a year,

a year = 12 months

To get the amount he is paid in a month we simply divide the $36000 by 12

$36000 / 12 = $3000

In a month he is paid $3000

Now to get the pay raise;

since the pay raise is 2.5 %, we will find 2.5% of $3000

2.5/100 × $3000 = 2.5 × $30 =$75

There Terry receive an increase of $75 in a month

Yes, it's proportional because each orange costs $1.50 and this stays true throughout the whole list. If you continue the count, it will mean that $12 should get you 8 oranges. I found this by dividing the cost of 2 by 2 to find the cost of one at that level, and checked, using multiplication, to see if every other amount continued with the same price, and it did. I found that 12 dollars is 8 oranges by dividing 12 by 1.5.
