Last year Ben earned $22,500. He expects his earning to be 23% greater this year than last year. What did Ben expect to earn this year?

Ben expected to earn $27,675 this year.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, to be able to determine the difference between this year and last year, you would multiply $22,500 by 0.23 (or, 23% in decimal form).

When you do that, the answer comes out to 5,175.

So then, you add $22,500 and $5,175 in order to get the value that he expected to earn this year. That comes out to $27,675, which is your final answer.

the answer is 0.071
