Question 746882
<pre>
First we multiply the old wage by 15% or 0.15
to find out how much more money she will get.

   $4 3 2 0
  <u>    0.1 5</u>
  2 1 6 0 0
  <u>4 3 2 0 0</u>
 $6 4 8.0 0  <-- that's the dollar amount of increase.

Now we add that to the old wage to get the new wage:

   $4 3 2 0.0 0
   <u>   6 4 8.0 0</u>
   $4 9 6 8.0 0   <-- that's her new wage.
