Question

Janis earns $7.00 per hour at Pizza King. After 6 months, her hourly pay of pay increased to $7.70 per hour. What is the percent increase in her hourly rate of pay?

Answer 1

Answer: 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Previous Hourly pay= $7.00

Current Hourly pay = $7.70

Increase in hourly pay = Current Hourly pay - Previous Hourly pay

= $7.70- $7.00

= $0.70

Now, the percent increase in her hourly rate of pay will be :

`\frac{\text{Increase in hourly pay}}{\text{Previous Hourly pay}}*100\%\\\\=(0.70)/(7)*100\%\\\\=(1)/(10)*100\%\\\\=10\%`

Hence, the percent increase in her hourly rate of pay = 10%
