Question

Mr. Darcy earns $15 per hour working at the docks. He received a $0.75 an hour raise on Monday. What percent is $0.75 of $15?

Answer 1

Answer 2

based off what the question is asking for, lets assume that 15 is 100% -- so we get these 2 pretty simple equations\( 100\% =15 \) and \( x\%=0.75 \)

so from here, we turn that into 2 fractions, so we can use the rule of 3

\( \frac{ 15 }{ 0.75 } = \frac{ 100\% }{ x\% } \)

can you finish the rest?
