Question

John's employer increased his annual salary of $55,000 by $5,700. What percent was his raise, rounded to the nearest tenths place?

Answer 1

3.64% (when rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Explanation:

I'm assuming by 5700 you actually mean 57,000.

Calculate the percent change:

(57,000-55,000)/55,000 *100

(2000/55000)x100

0.036363x100

3.6363 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 3.64
