<h2>We know:</h2>

You currently make $13.50 an hour. You've earned a 15% pay raise. You want to find out your previous rate of pay per hour.


<h2>Steps:</h2>

1.) Convert 15% to a decimal, which equals 0.15


2.) Multiply your current earnings with the percentage in decimal form (0.15)

$13.50 (current pay per hour) x 0.15 (percentage in decimal form) = $2.025 (difference between your previous wage and your current wage)


3.) Subtract the difference of your previous wage and current wage with your current earnings

$13.50 (current pay per hour) - $2.025 (difference between previous and current wage) = $11.475 (previous pay per hour)


4.) Since this is talking about wage, rounding is not applicable. In other cases, your number would be rounded off to $11.48, however you can't add what you don't have, so you would have to round down.


<h2>You were previously making $11.47 an hour.</h2>

Related sides the the same ratio so if I have a square with side length 10 and a similar one with side length of 5 the ratio is 1/2 when going from big to small or 2/1 when going small to big.  This is true for all sides.  This allows you to find missing sides using proportions.
