Help idk the answer and it’s due tomorrow

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 14%

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Dallas's wage increased from $9 to $10.25.

Let's say the percent increase is x. Then we write the expression:

9 + x * 9 = 10.25

Divide by 9 from both sides:

1 + x = 10.25 / 9 ≈ 1.14

Subtract 1 from both sides:

x = 1.14 - 1 = 0.14

Since x is a percent, that means x = k/100, where k is an integer. So we have:

x = k/100 = 0.14

Multiply both sides by 100:

k = 0.14 * 100 = 14%

The answer is thus C.
