You were making $15 an hour and are now making $18 an hour. What is the percent of change in your hourly wage? This is a 2 part question. The first part you will tell the percent of change "Without the % sign included in your answer" the second part you will determine if it is a "Increase or Decrease"​

Part 1:
So you start out making $15 an hour. Now you are making $18 an hour. In order to figure it out, divide the increase ($3) by the original amount ($15), then multiply by 100.
So it is a 20 percent
Part 2: INCREASE

Hope this helps :D
