Wage rise

Most wage rises are given inpercentages. If you need to brush up on calculating percentages do the Percentages revision bite before trying this one.

Example

Ann earns $\pounds 780$ per month. She gets a pay rise of $3.8 \%$ . Find her new annual wage. (Annual means per year so annual wage means yearly wage.

Girl smiling at her piggy bank

First find her original annual wage.
Annual Wage = $\pounds 780 \times 12 = \pounds 9360$
Then work out the pay rise.
Pay Rise = $3.8 \%$ of $\pounds 9360$ = $\pounds 355.68$
New Pay Per Year = $\pounds 9360$ + $\pounds 355.68$
New Annual Wage = $\pounds 9715.68$
