Question

A man's salary is increased by $925 to $1036. Find the percentage increase. What would have been his new salary if the increase had been 16%

Answer 1

See the solutions below

Explanation:

Initial Salary= $925

Final salary= $1036

% increase= Change/initial *100

substitute

% increase= 1036-925/925 *100

% increase=111/925 *100

% increase=0.12 *100

% increase=12%

2. Let us find 16% of $925

=16/100*925

=0.16*925

=$148

Hence the salary would have been

=148+925

=$1073
