100% of Adam's original income = $300
1% of Adam's original income = 300 ÷ 100 = $3
100% + 50% = 150%
150% of Adam's original income = 150 x 3 = $450
100% of Adam's new income = $450
1% of Adam's new income = 450 ÷ 100 = $4.50
100% + 50% = 150%
150% of Adam's new income = 150 x 4.50 = $675
Adam's latest income = $675
Answer(s): $675
