To calculate the new salary after a 12% increase, you would use the following steps:
1. Calculate the amount of the increase.
2. Add that increase to the original salary.
Let's go through the calculations:
1. **Calculate the increase**:
\[
\text{Increase} = \text{Original Salary} \times \text{Percentage Increase}
\]
In this case,
\[
\text{Increase} = 145 \text{ naira} \times 0.12 = 17.4 \text{ naira}
\]
2. **Add the increase to the original salary**:
\[
\text{New Salary} = \text{Original Salary} + \text{Increase}
\]
So,
\[
\text{New Salary} = 145 \text{ naira} + 17.4 \text{ naira} = 162.4 \text{ naira}
\]
Therefore, the new salary of an employee who originally earns 145 naira a month, after a 12% increase, will be 162.4 naira a month.
