Given the statement:
Joes weekly Pay increased from $80-$100.
Determine the percent of increase.
Solution:
In order to determine the percent of increase, we simply need to divide 20 which is the difference of 100 and 80 by 80.
= 20/80
= 0.25
Since we are given a decimal answer, in order to convert it into percentage, we multiply the decimal by 100. Hence, in converting a percentage into decimal, we divide the percentage by 100.
= (0.25)(100)
= 25%
Final answer:
The percent of increase is 25%.
