What is the hourly salary after the increase?

1 answer

To calculate the hourly salary after a 50% increase on the base salary of $12 per hour, follow these steps:

  1. Calculate the amount of the increase: \[ \text{Increase} = \text{Base Salary} \times \text{Increase Rate} \] \[ \text{Increase} = 12 \times 0.50 = 6 \]

  2. Add the increase to the base salary: \[ \text{New Salary} = \text{Base Salary} + \text{Increase} \] \[ \text{New Salary} = 12 + 6 = 18 \]

Thus, the hourly salary after the increase is $18 per hour.
