Jorge's current hourly wage for working at Denti Smiles is $12.00. Jorge was told that at the beginning of next moth, his new hourly wage will be an increase of 6% of his current hourly wage. What will be Jorge's new hourly wage?

Question

If someone could explain how to do this, that would be great.

6% = 0.06

12.00 + 12.00*0.06 = 12.00*1.06 = 12.72
