Question

If Shelly makes $25 an hour and gets a 15% decrease in her pay, what is her new hourly rate?

Answer 1

If you are trying to find the new hourly pay after the 15% decrease, you will multiply the $25 and 0.15 to get 3.75. After that, you would subtract 3.75 from the $25 and you would get $21.25. So the new hourly pay is $21.75.
