Subtract 16,000 from 35,000 to find the quantity increase.

35,000 - 16,000 = 19,000

Now divide 19,000 by 16,000 to find the percent increase.

19,000 ÷ 16,000 = ‭1.1875‬

Multiply this by 100 to change it from a decimal to a percentage.

‭1.1875‬ × 100 = 118.75

Answer:

Amir received a 118.75% raise.
