We are given that the salary increment of Harry was $100. Thus, the salary increment of Sally would be was $100 + 200% of $100 = $300; and the salary increment of Ron would be 300% of $300 = $900.

The correct answer: C

Hope this helps!

The phrase “200% more than” means “3 times the amount.” Since the salary increment of Harry was 100, Sally’s was 3 x 100 = 300.

The phrase “300% of” means “3 times,” and since Ron’s was 300% of Sally’s, we have 3 x 300 = 900.

Answer: C
