Yes, 1.1 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

10% increment of salary is equal to 1.1.

Let suppose the gross salary is $500 and the increment of 10% is $50, so the gross salary after increment will be $550.

If you want to identify the gross salary after increment of 10% then you can simply multiply by 1.1

$550*10% = $550
