Answer 1

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Initial earning is $20 for each lawn and this summer she raised her price to $23 per lawn. We need to find the percent increase of peggy's charges. It can be given by :

$P=\dfrac{|\text{initial-final}|}{\text{initial}}\times 100$

Putting the values in above formula, we get :

$P=\dfrac{|20-23|}{20}\times 100\\\\P=15\%$

So, there is 15% increase in the peggy's charges.
