Question

In 2021 Florida's minimum wage will be $10 per hour. In 2026 the minimum wage will increase to $15 per hour. What is the percent change
of Florida's minimum wage from 2021 to 2026? *Round to the nearest whole percent*

Answer 1

Answer:

50% value change.

Step-by-step explanation:

A 100% increase from 10 would be 20. It's the equivalent of doing 10 times 2. We need 15 though which is half the distance in value to 10 than 20 is. Half of 100% is 50%.

Therefore, $15 is a 50% percent change from $10.
