anonymous · Answer

percent increase = (salary now minus salary last year) / (salary last year)

you can just put in those salary numbers, divide, and express as a percentage.

Thanks jake

this works for any percent change problem...

percent change from old to new = (new - old) / old

If you get a negative percent change, that means it reduced by that percentage.  A positive percent change means that the new value was an increase by that percentage.
