Answer:
Ruth now earns $27,093.75.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ruth earned in a year = $25,500
She received a raise in her salary = 6.25%
First we have to calculate 6.25% of her salary, then add it to her salary.
6.25% × 25,500
= [tex]\frac{6.25}{100}[/tex] × 25,500
= 0.0625 × 25,500
= 1,593.75
Ruth got increment of $1,593.75.
Now she earns = 1,593.75 + 25,500 = $27,093.75
Ruth now earns $27,093.75.
