Question

if you switch to late shift , you will receive a 10% wage increase , great i will make $12.00 per hour now and extra 10% would put me at what per hour ?

Answer 1

Amount getting now = $12

Late shift wage increase = 10%

Amount he will get after 10% increase = 12 + 10% of 12

Finding 10% of 12:

$10 percent of 12 = 0.1*12=1.2$

So total rate per hour after increase = 12 +1.2 =13.2

New rate per hour for late shift is $13.2

Answer 2

10% of 12 is 1.2.
SO 12.00 + 1.2 = 13.20
So you will make $13.20 per hour. Hope it helps!
