Answer:

The percent increase is 18.75%.

Explanation:

Given:

Amber got a raise, and her hourly wage increased from $8 to $9.50.

Now, to find percent increase.

Previous wage = $8.

Wage raised = $9.50.

So, to get the increased wage we subtract the previous wage from the wage raised:


\$9.50-\$8=\$1.50.

Now, to get the percent increase:


(1.50)/(8) * 100


=(150)/(8)


=18.75\%.

Therefore, the percent increase is 18.75%.
