Question

Teachers were told that next year they would receive a percent increase in their salary. Mrs. Bennett is making $32,000 a year and will receive $2,550.00 more next year. What is the percent increase? Round to the nearest percent.​ I need this answer ASAP please and thank you!

Answer 1

7.97%

Explanation:

Given data

Original Salary= $32,000

Increase= $2,550.00

percent increase= increase/original *100

Percent increase= 2,550.00/32000*100

Percent increase= 0.0796875*100

Percent increase= 7.97%

Hence the increase is 7.97%
