    the vector u=<1225,2445> gives the numbers of hours worked by employees of a temporary workk agency at two pay levels
    the vector v=<12.20, 8.50> gives the hourly wage

    a.
    u*v=<1225,2445> *<12.20, 8.50>

    b. identify the vector operation used to increase wages by 2%

    increase wages by 2% means 100% +2% =102% or 102/100=1.02

    1.02*v=

    You are amazing. By the way, I did not know that percents can be added. You did 2% + 100%. I always thought we must first convert each percent to decimal or fractional form.
