Question

Taminka received a raise in her hourly pay, from $13.50 to $14.99. Find the percent change. Round to the nearest percent.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\% = 11\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Initial = \ 13.50$

$Final = \ 14.99$

Required

Determine the percentage change

This is calculated as:

$\% = |\frac{Initial - Final}{Initial} * 100\%$

$\% = |\frac{13.50 - 14.99}{13.50}| * 100\%$

$\% = |\frac{-1.49}{13.50}| * 100\%$

$\% = \frac{1.49}{13.50} * 100\%$

$\% = \frac{1.49* 100\%}{13.50}$

$\% = \frac{149\%}{13.50}$

$\% = 11.037037037\%$

$\% = 11\%$
