5%
6%
6.5%
7%

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Current month paycheck gross was = $2,711

Bonus was $250, we have the amount

$2711-250=2461$ dollars

Subtracting old paycheck gross of $2,300

$2461-2300=161$ dollars

The raise percentage is given by:

$\frac{161}{2300}\times100$ = 7%

Hence, the answer is 7%.
