SOLVE WITH WORK

Both Bert and Ernie received an increase in their weekly salaries. Bert's salary increased from $520 to $520. Ernie's salary went from $580 to $645. Find the percent of increase for each salary. What was the larger of the two percents ?

Answer 1

Answer: Bert's salary didn't increase while Ernie's salary increased by 11 percent.

Explanation:

645 / 580 = 1.11

Simple:

1.11 * 100 = 111

100 is a whole so we subtract 100 from 111 to get 11.

11% is our answer.

It doesn't look like Bert's salary changed, 520 =/ 520
