Jamaal earns $8.42 per hour. If he gets a 3% raise, how much will he earn per hour?
To calculate the amount of the 3% raise, we first need to find 3% of Jamaal's current hourly wage:
3% of $8.42 = 0.03 x $8.42 = $0.25
So Jamaal's raise is $0.25 per hour.
To find out how much he will earn per hour with the raise, we simply add the raise to his current wage:
$8.42 + $0.25 = $8.67
Therefore, Jamaal will earn $8.67 per hour after his 3% raise.
