Joey received a 25% raise to his $1,200 salary. What is his new salary?

$1,225
$1,500
$1,350
$1,450

The correct answer is: $1,500

To calculate Joey's new salary after receiving a 25% raise, you need to begin by determining the amount of the raise. First, calculate 25% of his current salary, which is $1,200. To find 25% of $1,200, multiply $1,200 by 0.25: \[ 0.25 \times 1,200 = 300 \] This means the raise amounts to $300. Adding this raise to his original salary gives: \[ 1,200 + 300 = 1,500 \] Therefore, Joey's new salary after the raise is $1,500. This calculation clearly shows how raises are calculated as a percentage of the existing salary, leading directly to the correct new salary amount.
