Your weekly pay of $250 is about to be increased by 6%. explain the two steps you would take to determine your new weekly pay. identify your new payment.

First, you would determine how much more this new weekly payment is. As we are getting a raise of .06 times our old payment, our new payment will be (old payment)+(.06*(old payment)), or more simply, 1.06 times the old payment. Multiplying this out gives us 1.06*250, or 265

Another way to do this, which is also two steps, is to multiply the old payment by .06 then add that to our old payment.
.06*250 = 15
250+15 = 265

I hope this helps!
