Answer:
So if he's paid £1500 and he's getting an increase of 3%, we only need to calculate the 3% of 1500 and then add it what he's paid now (£1500)
To calculate the x% of a number, we multiply the number by [tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex]%.
So, if we want to calculate the 3%, we need to multiply by [tex]\frac{3}{100}[/tex]%, by 0.03:
1500 * 0.03 = £45
So now, we know he'll be paid £45 more than the last month, so we sum what he got before (£1500) plus those £45.
1500 + 45 = £1545
