well there is this question where: Henry earns $530 dollars per week and Jose earns 30% more than Henry does. They both recieve $70 raise per week, so how much will Jose be earning?

Answer 4

most times in an equation it means how much aperson got every week

Answer 5

it means that henry now earns $600 per week

Answer 6

how did you get $600 ?

Answer 7

and 30% more than $580 is $754 so the other guy now makes $824 per week

Answer 8

No that was not correct though

Answer 9

i added $70 to $530

Answer 10

that is because i made a mistake

Answer 11

but what would you do to the percent then? since it's a raise, don't you do 1.30

Answer 12

30% more than 530 is 530*1.3=689
add 70 to that

Answer 13

689+70=759. isnt the answer that?
