Question

over a period of ten years Pats income rose from 15000 to 20000 round to the nearest whole number by what percentage did her income increase

Answer 1

Original Income = 15,000
New income = 20,000

The percentage Increase in the income can be calculated as:

$\frac{Change}{Original} * 100$%

The change in income = 20000 - 15000 = 5000

Using the values, we get:

$\frac{5000}{15000}*100$%

= $33.33$%

This means, Pats income increased by 33.33% in a period of ten years
