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.

vazorg [7]

Answer:

50 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:'

given data

Non member must pay a 6$ per day

let number of days be x

cost = 6x

member of the club pay 1$ but must pay a yearly membership fee of 250

cost = 250+x

Step two

equate the two expression to find x

6x=250+x

6x-x= 250

5x=250

divide both sides by 5

x= 250/5

x=50 days
