Question

In your entry level job as a sales clerk you made 15000 a year after many years of hard work and a long series of promotions you became a director of marketing at 150000 a year this is what percent of your original salary

Answer 1

What percent of 15,000 is 150,000
x*15,000=150,000
x=150,000/15,000
x=10
So now you have to put that in percent form by multiplying is by 100
10*100=1000%
You are making 1000% more now than what you made when you started working.
You can check this by asking what is 1000% of 15,000
10.00*15,000=150,000
Hope this helps :)
