The initial wage is $25, and the new increased wage is 28.60.

So, the percent of increase is calculated as follows:


\begin{gathered} \text{percent}=\frac{new\text{ wage-initial wage}}{\text{ initial wage}}\cdot100 \\ =(28.60-25)/(25)\cdot100 \\ =0.144\cdot100 \\ =14.4 \end{gathered}

So, 14.4% percent of wage is increases.
