Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the raise amount

First, we need to find 8% of $25.50. To do this, we convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100, so 8% becomes 0.08. Then we multiply this decimal by the original wage.
$25.50 \times 0.08 = 2.04$

Step2: Add the raise to the original wage

Now, we add the raise amount we just calculated to the original hourly wage to get the new wage.
$25.50 + 2.04 = 27.54$

Answer:

The new hourly wage is $27.54.
