for company A, her raise is 5.2% each year.
\n" ); document.write( "her new salary will be 105.2% of her old salary each year.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "she starts at 53080.
\n" ); document.write( "she gets a raise of 5.2%
\n" ); document.write( "5.2% / 100% = .052
\n" ); document.write( ".052 * 53080 = a raise of 2760.16
\n" ); document.write( "53080 + 2760.16 = 55840.16
\n" ); document.write( "55840.16 / 53080 = 1.052 * 100% = a percent of 105.2%\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the rate is equal to the percent divided by 100.
\n" ); document.write( "the percent is equal to the rate * 100.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
