Question

A person earning $4,600 a month gets a raise and makes $5290 the following months. What is the percent increase in salary?

Answer 1

The answer is 15 percent.

5290-4600=690

Covert the 0.15 into percent which is 15 percent

5290 - 4600 = 690$

The increase in percentage is:

690/4600 = 0,15

0,15*100% = 15%
