Question

Charles got a raise from $5.00 an hour to $7.00 an hour. This was a raise of what percent?
A. 2%
B. 20%
C. 40%
D. 50%

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 7-5 }{ 5 }\times 100\] will be the percentage of raise.

Answer 2

it would be 40% because you multiply $5 by 40% then add the answer to 5

Answer 3

Or you could just do \[\frac{ 7 }{ 5 } = 1.40\] which is 40 % increase.

Answer 4

thank you =)
