Question

When you started working at your job, you earned $7.25 an hour. Now, you earn $15.65. What is the Percent of Change From when you started at your job to now? (Round to the nearest TENTH)

Answer 1

115.8%

Explanation:

`(7.25)/(15.65) =(100)/(y)`

7.25 × y = 15.65 × 100

7.25y = 1565

7.25y ÷ 7.25 = 1565 ÷ 7.25

`y=215(25)/(29)`

As a decimal this is 215.862068966

Rounded to the nearest tenth this is 215.8

215.8% - 100%

115.8%
