The first person is wrong...if you truly want 1.4 times more.
There is a big difference.
1.4 times more is 140% more....
1.4 percent more is .014 times more.
So, you will take $32,500 x 1.4 = $45,500
Not an extra $455.

Pretty easy. Multiply 32,500 by 1.4. Use a calculator if needed.

you would just multiply 32500 by 1.4%
32500 x .014 = $455
you are allowed to make $455 more making a total of $32955
