Question

Patti got a new part-time job. Her hourly wage increased from $10.50 to $12.39. What was the percent increase in Patti's hourly wage?

Answer 1

18%

Explanation:

Subtract $10.50 from $12.30 and you will get 1.8.

Then divide 1.8 to 100 (because 100% = total) and you will get 0.018 which means 18%. Her hourly wage increased by 18%.
