Question

over a period of ten years Pats income rose from 15000 to 20000 round to the nearest whole number by what percentage did her income increase

Answer 1

Original Income = 15,000
New income = 20,000

The percentage Increase in the income can be calculated as:


`(Change)/(Original) * 100`%

The change in income = 20000 - 15000 = 5000

Using the values, we get:


`(5000)/(15000)*100`%

=
`33.33`%

This means, Pats income increased by 33.33% in a period of ten years
