If a woman making $36,000 a year receives a cost-of-living increase of 2.1%, what will her new salary be?

Answer :

Answer:

Her new salary is $36756

Explanation:

We need to know how much 2.1% of 36000 is, so:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{x}{2.1}=\frac{36000}{100} \\ x=\frac{36000\cdot2.1}{100} \\ x=756 \end{gathered}[/tex]

That corresponds to the cost of living increase.
