You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To increase their wages 8%, you multiply their old pay by 1.08...thus their new wages are
(1.08)($124.60) = $134.57 (rounding up)
It isn't clear whether this is per person or for all three. Divide this answer by three if the $124.60 was the total of all three.
