Question

Avery earned a raise of an additional $2.50 per hour. Initially, she started at $10.00 an hour. What is the percent increase in Avery’s hourly pay?

Answer 1

Answer: 25%

Explanation:
1. Turn it into a fraction (2.50/10)
2. Divide the numerator (2.50) by the denominator (10). (2.50÷10=0.25)
3. Convert the decimal (0.25) into a percentage by multiplying it by 100 and placing “%” at the end. (0.25x100=25%)
