A person was appointed in the pay scale of $700-40-1500. Find in how many years he will reach maximum of the scale?
Thanks :)
You're welcome!
To determine how many years it will take for the person to reach the maximum end of the pay scale, we need to calculate the number of increments that need to be earned and then divide it by the annual increment.
In this case, the pay scale is $700-40-1500, which means the starting salary is $700 and the maximum salary is $1500. The increment value is $40.
To find the number of increments, we subtract the starting salary from the maximum salary:
$1500 - $700 = $800
Next, we divide the total increment by the annual increment:
$800 / $40 = 20 increments
Therefore, it will take 20 years to reach the maximum of the pay scale.
Start salary=700
Top of scale = 1500
Number of increments to reach top = (1500-700)/40=800/40=20
Assume increment is annual, so it takes 20 years to reach the top of the scale.
