SQL UPDATE arithmetic question

In the SQL UPDATE practice exercises, the Pay Raises question asks to update the salary values in the company table for employees with greater than a 5 rating. I need some guidance on the proper formatting for doing arithmetic in SQL queries. My best guess is below, but it does not work: /* UPDATE company SET salary = salary + salary*0.2 WHERE rating > 5; */

As it is a pro code coach, so I can't see it. I think your solution is right and be sure you also give Select * from company; command

Sure: Write a query to increase salaries by 20% for those employees whose rating is above 5. Then show the updated table. Source: https://sololearn.com/coach/1011/?ref=app

Like this? /* SELECT * FROM company; UPDATE company SET salary = salary + salary*0.2 WHERE rating > 5; */
