Add 6% to 100%, get 106%

NEW SALARY = 106% OF OLD SALARY

%28matrix%282%2C1%2CNEW%2CSALARY%29%29%22%22=%22%22%22106%25%22%22%22%2A%22%22%28matrix%282%2C1%2COLD%2CSALARY%29%29

19610%22%22=%22%221.06x

Divide both sides by 1.06

19610%2F1.06%22%22=%22%22x

18500%22%22=%22%22x

%22%2418500%22%22%22=%22%22x
