if i make $18.500. a year and receive a 10.5% raise how much is that? not real clear how to do % help?

Answer 1

To get the percentage, multiply by 0.105 - so you just slide the 10.5 to after the decimal place.

18500 multiplied by 0.105 = 1942.5

Answer 2

First, you need to figure out what the question is really asking - you need to INCREASE the base amount by a certain percentage of that amount. So the number you end up with needs to be more than the original amount, right? The fastest way to do this is to say "My new salary will be 110.5% of my original salary (100% of your original salary plus 10.5% increase)." So you need to multiply your original salary by 110.5%

Next, change the percentage into a decimal by moving the decimal over two places to the left: 110.5% = 1.105.

Multiply your salary by the amount you want to increase it: 18500 x 1.105 = 20442.5

Your new salary will be $20,442.50.

Answer 3

$18,500.00 X .10 = $1,850.00
$18,500.00 X 1/2 of 1% = $185/2 = $ 92.50
Total Raise = $1,942.50

10.00 % move decimal one place to the left
1% move decimal two places to the left
1/2 of 1 % just divides the results of 1 % by 2

Answer 4

18500 X 0.105 = 1942.50 average hours in a week so divide by 40 to get your per hour raise, approximately 49 cents an hour

Answer 5

a raise of $1942.50

Answer 6

18,500 x .105 = 1942.50

So the same as what everyone else said
