Answer: C) $8.67
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that ,
Jamaal earns $8.42 per hour.
i.e. Original pay per hour = $8.42
If he gets a 3% raise , then his earning is raised by :
Raised amount= Percent of raise x Originla pay
[tex]= 0.03\times 8.42[/tex] [We convert 3% = 0.03 by dividing it by 100.]
[tex]=\$0.2526\approx\$0.25[/tex] [Rounded to the nearest cent]
Now, the amount he will earn after raise = Original pay +Raised amount
= $8.42+ $0.25= $8.67
Therefore , he will earn $8.67 per hour.
hence, the correct answer is C) $8.67
