#(107x)/(100) = 1.07x#

Since there are no values provided, let us provide a general response to this query.

Let's call the salary before the increase #$x#

#x# represents the full salary - which is #100%#

If this is increased by #7%#, the new amount will be:

#(100% +7%)# of #x#

New salary = #(107x)/(100)#

This can also be give as a decimal: #1.07x#

Your salary after a 7% salary increase can be translated into an algebraic expression as follows:

Let ( x ) represent your salary before the increase. Then, your salary after the increase would be ( x + 0.07x ) or ( 1.07x ).
