Answer:

43.16 %  ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

My original wages = $7.62,

If my coworker earns 10 percent more than me,

Then his wages = (100+10)% of my wages

= 110% of 7.62

=\frac{110\times 7.62}{100}

=\frac{838.2}{100}

= $ 8.382,

Now, my new wages = $ 12,

\because \frac{\text{Difference between me and my coworker's wages}}{\text{Coworker's wages}}\times 100=\frac{12-8.382}{8.382}\times 100

=\frac{3.618}{8.382}\times 100

≈ 43.16 %

Hence, I earn 43.16% more than he does.

First you must find out how much your coworker makes. Since they make 10% more than you, you need to multiply your wage by 1.1, since 0.1 is 10% of 1. After doing this, find the percentage difference between your new wage and their wage. Your wage increase of 57.49% is computed by

<span>100<span>(<span><span>12−7.62</span>7.62</span>)</span></span> so think in terms of this to find the percentage difference between your coworker's and your wage.

Art [367]

Using mathematical operations and ratios, the number of questions that the other kids answered incorrectly was <u>1 each</u>.

<h3>What are the mathematical operations?</h3>

The mathematical operations include these four basic operations - addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

These mathematical operations and ratios, which set one value equal to another, are used to solve mathematical problems.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

The number of questions = 20

Marks awarded to each question = 3 points

Average incorrect answers by Chris = 6

Average performance = 50%

Above average performance = 90%

Incorrect answers by other students = 10% (1 - 90%)

<h3>Incorrect performance ratios:</h3>

Chris = 50%

Four students = 10%

= 5 : 1

Chris' ratio = 5/6

Four students = 1/6

The number of questions that the four other students answered incorrectly was <u>1 question</u> (6/50% x 10%) or (6 x 1/6).

Thus, the other kids answered <u>1 question</u> each incorrectly.
