When dealing with percentages it is often much easier to convert it to a decimal (mostly because a lot of people are uncomfortable working with fractions) but in this case, I suggest dividing 1 into 5 [hint hint fractions are just glorified division in the long run] and after you have done that multiply by 100. This will get you your answer.
Answer:
alex earns 540.00
Step-by-step explanation:
A = -16 b = 0 c = 541
Use the quadratic formula which is
x = [-b +- sq root (b^2 -4*a*c)] / 2*a
x = [-0 +-sq root (0 -4*-16*541)] / 2 * -16
x = + - sq root (0 -4*-16*541) / -32
x = + - sq root (34,624) / -32
x = + - 186.075 / -32
x1 = 186.075 / -32 =

x2 = -186.075 / -32 =

Since your looking for the increase you can take the number from 2004
and 2014 and turn it into a fraction
54/135
now that you've done that times it by 100 like this
54/135 x 100=
40
and that will give you the percentile which is:
40%
Hope that helps X3
