Answer 14

Now for the second part.
If you receive the same pay raise two more times, then you will end up with the following.

Since now $9.35 is your salary, and the full salary is 100%, a ten pecent increase would make it 110% of what you are receiving now.

110% * $9.35
=1.1 * $9.35
= $10.285

After the first of the two 10% percent increases, the new salary is $10.285.

$10.285 is now 100% of your salary. A second 10% increase means the new salary becomes 110% of the current salary, so the new salary after the second 10% increase would be:

110% * $10.285
= 1.1 * $10.285
=$11.3135

The new salary is $11.31 per hour.
