Answer 1

C.14%

Explanation:

`Original\:price = \$9\\New\:price =\$10.25\\\\Increase = 10.25-9\\Increase = 1.25\\\\Increase \: \% = (Increase)/(Original \:price) \:* 100\\\\= (1.25)/(9) * 100\\\\= (125)/(9)\\ \\= 13.888\\= 14\%`

Answer 2

C. 14%

Explanation:

We know that Dallas's wage increased from $9 to $10.25.

Let's say the percent increase is x. Then we write the expression:

9 + x * 9 = 10.25

Divide by 9 from both sides:

1 + x = 10.25 / 9 ≈ 1.14

Subtract 1 from both sides:

x = 1.14 - 1 = 0.14

Since x is a percent, that means x = k/100, where k is an integer. So we have:

x = k/100 = 0.14

Multiply both sides by 100:

k = 0.14 * 100 = 14%

The answer is thus C.
