Answer:
=5803.28$ and 1760.99 $
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Emile Zola, a senior Manager for Timber eye industries in California got a merit raise of 7.25% and cost of living 2.2%
Total increase in percent = [tex]7.25+2.2=9.45%[/tex]
After rise Emile salary is 87609.50 $
Let Emile salary -- 100
RIse -- 9.45
Salary after rise -- 109.45
THus we get if 109.45 is raised salary then merit increase =7.25
Hence for 87609.50, merit increase = [tex]\frac{7.25(87609.5)}{109.45} =[/tex]=5803.28$
Similarly we have cost of living increase=
= [tex]\frac{2.2(87609.5)}{109.45} =1760.99[/tex]
