Answer:20

Step-by-step explanation: so first take out the amount of salary increased so it will be- 48-40=-8

After take out the percentage of the increased amount which was $-8 and the original amount which was $40 so 8/40 × 100

Percentage increase would be 16.67% or if thats not right try 20%

i hope this helps!!!!
