Let's solve the questions from the image step by step.

### 1. **Shirt Sale Price**
- Original price of a shirt = £27
- Discount = 35%
  
  To find the price in the sale:
  \[
  \text{Sale price} = 27 - (27 \times 0.35) = 27 - 9.45 = £17.55
  \]

### 2. **Jacket Sale Price**
- Original price of a jacket = £61
- Discount = 35%
  
  To find the price in the sale:
  \[
  \text{Sale price} = 61 - (61 \times 0.35) = 61 - 21.35 = £39.65
  \]

### 3. **Paul's Hourly Wage After Pay Rise**
- Original hourly wage = £6
- Pay rise = 2%
  
  To find the new hourly wage:
  \[
  \text{New hourly wage} = 6 + (6 \times 0.02) = 6 + 0.12 = £6.12
  \]

### 4. **Sandy's Salary After Pay Rise**
- Original annual salary = £13,450
- Pay rise = 2%
  
  To find the new annual salary:
  \[
  \text{New salary} = 13,450 + (13,450 \times 0.02) = 13,450 + 269 = £13,719
  \]
