To calculate the new salary, we first need to determine the increase amount.
To do this, multiply the current salary by the percentage increase.
Step 1: Calculate the increase amount:
Increase = Current salary * Percentage increase
Increase = $36,000 * 0.05
Increase = $1,800
Step 2: Add the increase amount to the current salary to get the new salary:
New salary = Current salary + Increase
New salary = $36,000 + $1,800
New salary = $37,800
Therefore, Umberto's mother's new salary would be $37,800.
