A worker's present salary is ₦24,000 per annum. His annual increment is 10%10\% of his basic salary. What would be his annual salary at the beginning of the third year?

Worked solution (try it first)
  1. Each increment is 10%10\% of the basic salary: 0.1×24 000=0.1 \times 24\,000 = ₦2,400.
  2. At the beginning of the third year he has had two increments: 2×2400=2 \times 2400 = ₦4,800.
  3. So his salary is 24 000+4800=24\,000 + 4800 = ₦28,800, option A.
