Answer:
$1,950
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of more amount that should be earned is shown below:
For 2.5 months, the amount earned is $1,875
So per month it would be
= $1875 ÷ 2.5
= $750 per month
Also it raised by 4%
So new month salary is
= $750 + $750 ×4%
= $750 + $30
= $780
Now the total earnings for 2.5 months is
= $780 × 2.5
= $1,950
