proportion

before, she was making 52000

so raise/original=106%/100%=106/100

x=new salary

'how much more'=x-52000

also, since 6% increase, 6% is the how much more

howmuchmore/52000=6%/100%

howmuchmore/52000=6/100

howmuchmore/52000=0.06

multiply both sides by 52000

howmuchmore=3120

she earns $3120 more nex year
