The corporate office sent out a memo stating that due to productivity increases, all salaried employees would receive 30% more annual leave in the next fiscal year. If an employee currently receives 9 days of leave, how much total leave will they receive after the increase?

Basically, the question is asking, what will happen if we increase 9 by 30%?

first, what is 30% of 9?
[tex] \frac{30}{100}*9= \frac{3*9}{10} =2.7[/tex]

So, the increase will be by 2.7 days,

So the total amount will be 9+2.7=11.7 - this is the correct answer.

Answer: There are 11 days and 16.8 hours of leaves they will receive after the increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of leaves = 9 days

Percentage of more annual leave in the next fiscal year = 30%

So, Increased number of leaves by

[tex]\frac{30}{100}\times 9\\\\=0.3\times 9\\\\=2.7[/tex]

so, Total number of leaves they will receive after the increase is given by

[tex]9+2.7\\\\=11.7\\\\=11\ days+\frac{7}{10}\times 24=11\ days+16.8\ hours[/tex]

Hence, there are 11 days and 16.8 hours of leaves they will receive after the increase.
