To calculate your new weekly wage, you will first need to determine the 5% increase on your present wages.
1. Calculate the 5% increase:
5% of 250 pounds = 0.05 x 250 = 12.50 pounds
2. Next, add the extra five pounds per week:
12.50 pounds + 5 pounds = 17.50 pounds
3. Finally, add the total calculated increase to your present wages:
250 pounds + 17.50 pounds = 267.50 pounds
Therefore, your new weekly wage will be 267.50 pounds.
To calculate your new weekly wage, we need to apply both the 5% increase and the extra £5 per week. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Calculate the 5% increase:
First, find 5% of your present wage of £250 by multiplying it by 0.05:
5% of £250 = £250 * 0.05 = £12.50
Step 2: Calculate the extra £5 per week:
This is a flat amount that will be added to your wage, so no calculation is needed. It is simply £5.
Step 3: Add the 5% increase and the extra £5 to your present wage:
New weekly wage = Present wage + 5% increase + £5
New weekly wage = £250 + £12.50 + £5
Step 4: Calculate the total:
Adding these amounts will give you your new weekly wage:
New weekly wage = £250 + £12.50 + £5
New weekly wage = £267.50
Therefore, your new weekly wage will be £267.50.
