\( 1< \) A person earns \( \$ 25,100 \) one year and gets a \( 5 \% \) raise in salary. What is the new salary?

To find the new salary after a 5% raise, you can start by calculating the amount of the raise. Multiply the current salary (\$25,100) by the raise percentage (5% or 0.05): \[ \text{Raise} = 25,100 \times 0.05 = 1,255 \] Then, add this raise to the original salary: \[ \text{New Salary} = 25,100 + 1,255 = 26,355 \] So, the new salary is \$26,355. Now go celebrate that raise!
