Answer:

$6,583.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Amanda's monthly salary increased by 4.5%. You can get the percentage by getting the increased amount in salary and dividing it by the previous salary of Amanda.

  • $5,538.50 - $5,300 = $238.5
  • $238.5 ÷ $5,300 = 0.045 (4.5%)

In order to get the new salary of Mary, you have to multiply the same percentage, 4.5%, to Mary's previous salary, $6,300. This will give you the amount that will be added to her new salary.

  • $6,300 x 0.045 (4.5%) = $283.5
  • $283.5 + $6,300 = $6,583.5

Mary's new salary is $6,583.5
