    Real income after the raise was: c. $25,000

    Explanation:

    Real income refers to the wages of an individual or entity after adjusting for inflation.

    Real income is calculated by the following formula:

    Real Income = Wages / (1 + Inflation Rate) = Income / (1 + Inflation Rate)

    The income after raise was $26,000 and the rate of inflation was 4 percent. Real income after the raise = Income / (1 + Inflation Rate) = $26,000 / (1+4%) = $25,000
