Answer:

15%

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial earning is $20 for each lawn and this summer she raised her price to $23 per lawn. We need to find the percent increase of peggy's charges. It can be given by :


P=\frac{|\text{initial-final}|}{\text{initial}}* 100

Putting the values in above formula, we get :


P=(|20-23|)/(20)* 100\\\\P=15\%

So, there is 15% increase in the peggy's charges.
