Question

lf had his hourly salary increase from $9.25 per hour to $10.75 per hour, what's the percent increase in Jordan's salary

Answer 1

Answer:

16.22%

Explanation:

The percent of increase can be calculated as:

$\frac{v_f-v_i}{v_i}\times100$

Where vf is the final value and vi is the initial value. So, replacing vf by 10.75 and vi by 9.25, we get:

$\frac{10.75-9.25}{9.25}\times100=\frac{1.5}{9.25}\times100=16.22\text{ \%}$

Therefore, the percent of the increase is 16.22%
