Question

Your hourly salary increased from $14 to $29. What is the percent increase in your salary?

Answer 1

Answer:

107%

Step-by-step explanation:

$14 to $29

Original number/start = $14

End number = $29

Increase = $29 - $14 = $15

% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100

Substitute in known values

% increase = 15 ÷ 14 × 100

Divide

% increase = 1.07 × 100

Multiply

% increase = 107%

The percentage increase is 107%

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

107%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent change = (new number - old number)/(old number) * 100%

new number = 29; old number = 14

percent change = (29 - 14)/14 * 100%

percent change = 15/14 * 100%

percent change = 107%
