Ashley is making $500 a week at her job. She receives a 20 percent pay raise. A year later she takes a 5 percent cut. How much does she make per week now

Answer: she makes $570 per week now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ashley is making $500 a week at her job. She receives a 20 percent pay raise. The amount of raise that she received is

20/100 * 500 = 0.2 * 500 = 100

Her new pay per week becomes

500 + 100 = $600

A year later she takes a 5 percent cut. This means that her pay was reduced and the amount by which it was reduced is

5/100 * 600 = 0.05 * 600 = 30

The amount that she makes per week now would be

600 - 30 = $570
