Hensley earns $8.50 per hour at an amusement park. She received a 12% raise when she becomes a manager at the gift store. How much more per hour does Henley earn and what are her new hourly earnings?

Respuesta :

First, find 12% of $8.50.

12% of $8.50 = 12% * $8.50 = 0.12 * $8.50 = $1.02

The raise is $1.02 per hour.

$8.50 + $1.02 = $9.52

Hear new hourly earnings are $9.52/hour.
