Question
A shoe sales associate earned $300 in November. In December she earned 8% more than she did in November. How much she earn in December?
Answer:
$324.00
Step-by-step explanation:
Increase the number by 8% of its value.
Percentage increase = 8% × 300
New value =
300 + Percentage increase =
300 + (8% × 300) =
300 + 8% × 300 =
(1 + 8%) × 300 =
(100% + 8%) × 300 =
108% × 300 =
108 ÷ 100 × 300 =
108 × 300 ÷ 100 =
32,400 ÷ 100 =
324
