F. 11%
H. 7%
G. 10%
J. 6%

Answer 1

Answer:

G. 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Last month income = $20350

Increment = $2000

For finding increased percentage, we should have to divide the increment by monthly income and multiply it with 100.

Increased percentage = $\frac{increment}{Last\ month\ income}\times100$

$\therefore increased\ percentage=\frac{2000}{20350} \times100\\\\ increased\ percentage=\frac{200000}{20350}=9.82\approx10\%$

Thus the increase in the income of Jim is 10%.
