1. **State the problem:** Calculate the amount and percent increase in Dale Crosby's salary from 2005 to 2006 using the given line graph. 2. **Identify the salaries for 2005 and 2006:** From the graph, the salary in 2005 is approximately the same as 2004, about $38,000 (since 2005 is not shown, we use 2004's value). The salary in 2006 is about $42,000. 3. **Calculate the amount of increase:** $$\text{Increase} = \text{Salary in 2006} - \text{Salary in 2005} = 42,000 - 38,000 = 4,000$$ 4. **Calculate the percent increase:** Use the formula for percent increase: $$\text{Percent Increase} = \left(\frac{\text{Increase}}{\text{Original Salary}}\right) \times 100 = \left(\frac{4,000}{38,000}\right) \times 100 \approx 10.53\%$$ 5. **Interpretation:** The employee's salary increased by $4,000 from 2005 to 2006, which is approximately a 10.53% increase. **Final answers:** - Amount of increase: 4000 - Percent increase: 10.53
