A 5% increase in salary for Bonnie equals $50,000 x .05 = $2,500

                                    Bonnie’s salary for 2016 will be $52,500

     Applying the same salary increase to Jim equals $35,000 + 2,500 = $37,500 in 2016

      Jim salary increase will be ($37,500-35000)/35000=0,071429=7.1429% in 2016.

Explain and summarize the best way to calculate Bonnie’s and Jim’s salary increase that will promote and increase performance by both of these employees. Explain your reasoning.
