100% of Adam's original income = $600
1% of Adam's original income = 600 ÷ 100 = $6
100% + 30% = 130%
130% of Adam's original income = 130 x 6 = $780
100% of Adam's new income = $780
1% of Adam's new income = 780 ÷ 100 = $7.80
100% + 30% = 130%
130% of Adam's new income = 130 x 7.80 = $1014
Adam's latest income = $1014
Answer(s): $1014
