Question: 1 / 440

What will be the total earnings of an oiler who earns $1800 in the first half of the year and receives a 10% raise for the second half?

$3500

$3600

$3780

To calculate the total earnings of the oiler for the year, we start with the first half of the year where the oiler earns $1800. For the second half of the year, a 10% raise is applied to this amount.

To find the second half earnings, we first calculate the raise:

10% of $1800 is calculated as follows:

10/100 × 1800 = $180.

Now, we add this raise to the original salary for the first half of the year to find the total earnings for the second half:

$1800 + $180 = $1980.

Finally, we combine the earnings from both halves of the year:

$1800 (first half) + $1980 (second half) = $3780.

Thus, the total earnings of the oiler for the year is $3780, confirming the correctness of the answer provided.
