Question

What is the percent increase if your salary went from $95 to $100 per week?

4.5%
5%
5.3%
5.5%

Answer 1

Just multiply the percentage to 95 and then add it.

Option A:

4.5% of 95 = 4.275

95 + 4.275 = 99.275

Option B:

5% of 95 = 4.75

95 + 4.75 = 99.75

Option C:

5.3% of 95 = 5.035

95 + 5.035 = 100.035

Option D:

5.5% of 95 = 5.225

95 + 5.225 = 100.225

I'd go with Option C, it's the closest to 100.
