Question

Employees at a hardware store are receiving pay raises. Dan's hourly pay rate is increasing from $12 to $14. Kathy's hourly pay rate is increasing from $13 to $15. Complete the proportions that can be used to find the percent change, x, in Dan's and Kathy's pay rates. Please tell me what box your number goes in: Dan: Box 1, Box 2, Box 3 Kathy: Box 1, Box 2, Box 3

Answer 1

12/14 x 100% = 85.7%

100% - 85.7% = 14.3% increase for Dan

13/15 x 100% = 86.7%

100% - 86.7% = 13.3% increase for Kathy
