Question

Choice 3: Kyra makes $700.00 a week in her job. She did such a great job this week that she is going to get a 15% raise next week. How much will her raise be?

Please help and this is a Percentage problem :)

Answer 1

15/100 x 700 = 105

Explanation:

Consider 15% as 15 because you always consider a percent out of 100, you can remember by the word 'cent' meaning 100.

You need to FIRST find out what the percentage is OF whenever coming across these types of problems.

And the keyword 'of' means to multiply.
