Question

Marie will earn $15 per hour at a new job. During training, she will earn $10 per hour. What percent of Marie's regular rate will she earn during training?

Answer 1

66.67%

Explanation:

Marie's earnings at a new job : $15 per hour

Her earnings during training : $10 per hour

percentage of Marie's regular rate earned by her during training

=
`(Her\ earnings\ during\ training)/(Her earning\ at\ a\ new\ job)`×100

=
`(10)/(15)`×100

=
`(200)/(3)`

= 66.67%

∴percentage of Marie's regular rate earned by her during training = 66.67%
