Answer 1

a. Angelica makes 29.16% more than Khalil.

b. Khalil makes 22.58% less than Angelica.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Per hour pay of Angelica = $15.50

Per hour pay of Khalil = $12

a. Angelica makes what percent more than Khalil?

Difference = Angelica's pay - Khalil's pay

Difference = 15.50 - 12 = $3.50

Percentage = $\frac{Difference}{Khalil's\ pay}*100$

Percentage = $\frac{3.50}{12}*100$

Percentage = $\frac{350}{12}=29.16\%$

Angelica makes 29.16% more than Khalil.

b. Khalil makes what percent less than Angelica?

Difference = Khalil's pay - Angelica's pay

Difference = 12 - 15.50 = -$3.50

Negative sign indicates the decrease.

Percent decrease = $\frac{Difference}{Angelica's pay}*100$

Percent decrease = $\frac{3.50}{15.50}*100=\frac{350}{15.50}$

Percent decrease = 22.58%

Khalil makes 22.58% less than Angelica.
