The salary before the increase was $48000.
Answer: B
Step-by-step explanation:
the sum of any two sides is bigger than the third side... so 5+9= 14, bigger than 6. 5+6=11, greater than 9. 9+6=15, bigger than 5.
Let's say that B makes $100.
Then A makes $75.
So, your question then becomes 100 is what percent of 75?
This can be solved by setting up the proportion 100 / 75 = x / 100
75x = 10000
x = 133.3
So, B's income is 33.3% more than A's income.
I believe the answer would be 6.96 cm
