100% of Adam's original income = $900
1% of Adam's original income = 900 ÷ 100 = $9
100% + 50% = 150%
150% of Adam's original income = 150 x 9 = $1350
100% of Adam's new income = $1350
1% of Adam's new income = 1350 ÷ 100 = $13.50
100% + 50% = 150%
150% of Adam's new income = 150 x 13.50 = $2025
Adam's latest income = $2025
Answer(s): $2025
