100% of Adam's original income = $100
1% of Adam's original income = 100 ÷ 100 = $1
100% + 50% = 150%
150% of Adam's original income = 150 x 1 = $150
100% of Adam's new income = $150
1% of Adam's new income = 150 ÷ 100 = $1.50
100% + 50% = 150%
150% of Adam's new income = 150 x 1.50 = $225
Adam's latest income = $225
Answer(s): $225
