100% of Adam's original income = $700
1% of Adam's original income = 700 ÷ 100 = $7
100% + 30% = 130%
130% of Adam's original income = 130 x 7 = $910
100% of Adam's new income = $910
1% of Adam's new income = 910 ÷ 100 = $9.10
100% + 30% = 130%
130% of Adam's new income = 130 x 9.10 = $1183
Adam's latest income = $1183
Answer(s): $1183
