Question

Dwayne got a raise, and his hourly wage increased from $12 to $15. What is the percent of change?

A. 20% increase
B. 25% increase
C. 20% decrease
D. 25% decrease

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

The pay increases, so it clearly cannot be C or D, and 25% of 12 is 3 because 12/4 = 3, so it would have to be B.

Answer 2

Answer: B

12 x 0.25 = 3
3+12 = 15

Therefore it’s B
