my salary will increase 9.3% next year. if my salary this year is represented by s. write an expression to represent my salary next year?
new salary = x = 1s + .093 s
so
x = 1.093 s
To represent your salary next year, you need to calculate 9.3% of your salary this year and add it to your current salary. Here's how you can write the expression:
Salary next year = (1 + 0.093) * s
In this expression, "s" represents your salary this year. By multiplying your current salary "s" by 0.093 (which is the decimal form of 9.3%), you calculate the amount of the increase. Adding 1 to the percentage gives you the multiplier that represents the total increase (100% + 9.3% = 109.3%). Finally, multiplying this multiplier by your current salary "s" gives the salary next year.
