a company gives raises every year. Amir's present salary is $25,000. his manager would like to raise Amir's salary to $31,000. what percentage raise would amir be recieving?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what this is asking you is to find the increment in his salary. Before it was 25000 now it is 31000 what is the difference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be 31000-25000=6000 Therefore 6000 would be the increase in money

OpenStudy (anonymous):

however the questions asks for a percentage increase. So what percentage of 25000 is 6000?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
