How much money will I make if I get a 4.5% raise on $70,000?

Question

Hey guys- be nice...I'm not making 70k...it's just how I asked the question...this was my first time on Yahoo! Answers and I wanted to try it out with a question that popped into my head. It's disturbing how many of you answering are jerks...geez...you wouldn't talk to someone like that in person.

Answer 1

You shouln't be asking this question if you're making 70K a year, dude.

BUT.... just for fun...
1. Pull out a calculator
2. type in 70000
3. type in +
4. type 4.5
5. type %

It will equal 73150.

Or, for fun, you can multiply.... 70000*0.045=3150+70000=73150

Regardless of how you do it, a person whose pulling in almost 6 grand a month (pre-tax) should be able to do simple math that they teach you in sixth grade..... unless you ARE in sixth grade and this is a homework question. If you are and this is, it should be in homework.

Answer 2

multiply your 70,000 by 1.045 then you will get your answer.
Its an easy calculation anything before the point is a make up of 100 % so .01 is 1% so .04 is 4% and the 5 which is the third digit before the point is the 1/2 % so if you put any two numbers before the point that will give you, your increase % wise. so 1.50 x 70,000 would give you a 50% increase. Hope this has helped.

Answer 3

No offense, but if you're making 70K, you should be able to calculate a simple percent.

Answer 4

I agree with all the rest of the answers. How did you manage to get that job?

Answer 5

I agree! I don't make near that much and I know how to calculate that!

Answer 6

$73,150. Why is anyone paying you $70k if you can't figure a percentage?

Answer 7

$3150.00 per year = $73150.00
Hint- take your wage and multiply it by 4.5
