Question 585027: During a job interview, Pam Thompson is offered a salary of $39,000. The company gives annual raises of 9 percent. What would be Pam’s salary during her fifth year on the job? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! After 1st year:
39k + = 42,510
After 2nd year:
42,510 + = 46335.90
The formula for this is:
where is the year before the one she's in
so, if she's in her 3rd year:
So, if she's in her 5th year
Her salary during her 5th year is $55,051.68
I think this is right, but you can get a 2nd opinion, too
