Cody's pay after raise : 3.125/100 x 23.04 = 0.72 so 23.04 (pay) + 0.72 (raise) = $23.76

Greg's pay after raise : 0.04/100 x 22.75 = 0.0091 so 22.75 + 0.0091 = $22.76

Kendall's pay after raise (percentage of raise missing) : use the same method of percentage divided by 100 multiplied by the current pay. add the answer that you get to the current pay.

Then list the names from least to highest pay.
