Question

In the past Reagan got paid 214,350 annually. Since switching to a new career she has been making 347,247 annually. What is the percent of increase in Reagan’s pay

Answer 1

Answer: Reagan's pay was increased by 62%

Explanation:

First, lets find the difference between the two pays:

$347,247 - $214,350 = $132,897

Let 214350 = 100%

Dividing 132,897 by 214350 to find the percent increase

`\bold{(132,897)/(214,350) }=0.62*100=62`

Therefore, Reagan's pay was increased by 62%
