Josie is paid £1200 per month. She is going to receive an increase of 4% in the amount she is paid. Work out how much money Josie we be paid each month after the increase.

We need to first work out what 4% of £1200 is. 1% of £1200 = £(1200/100) = £12. 1% is £12, so 4%= 4*£12 = £48. She will receive a £48 increase.Adding that on to her original amount, £1200 + £48 = £1248.Final answer --> £1248
