    Solution

    Monthly earning of Employee A = 180,000 / 12 = 15,000 Monthly earning of Employee B = 210,000 / 12 = 17,500 After a 10% increase, the earning of Employee A = 110% of 15,000 = 16,500 After a 7% increase, the earning of Employee B = 107% of 17,500 = 18,725 New average monthly salary = (16,500 + 18,725) / 2 = 35,225 / 2 = 17,612.5
