 Karungi earns 350,000/= per month. Her boss has promised to offer her a salary increase of 17% per month. Calculate the amount to be added to her in 14 months.

 

Solution

 

Increase per one month

= 17% x 350,000/=

= ¹⁷/₁₀₀ x 350,000/=

= 17 x 3,500/=

= 59,500/=

 

Increase for the whole year

        =increase per one month x 12

        =59,500x 14

        =833,000

Hence for the whole year she will get 833,000/=
