Sanya currently earns $25.00 an hour at her job. Thanks to her hard work, her boss is going to give her a 15% raise. Sanya thinks that this means she will earn about $30.00 an hour. Is Sanya's estimate reasonable?
To find out if Sanya's estimate is reasonable, we can calculate the amount of the raise and then add it to her current hourly wage.
First, we calculate the amount of the raise:
15% of $25.00 = $25.00 * 0.15 = $3.75
Therefore, Sanya's raise amount is $3.75.
Next, we add the raise amount to Sanya's current hourly wage to find her new hourly wage:
$25.00 + $3.75 = $28.75
So, according to the calculations, Sanya's new hourly wage after the 15% raise is $28.75, not $30.00.
Therefore, Sanya's estimate of earning about $30.00 an hour is not reasonable.
