It would be a 12.5% increase. First you find her monthly wages: $10.50 x 160 hours= $1680 a month. Her insurance is $210/month. So you need to find what percentage 210 is of 1680. So 
. Solve for x by dividing 1680 on both sides and you get 0.125. Multiply by 100 to get the percentage and you get 12.5%. Check your answer by multiplying 1680 x 0.125 and you get 210.
