Answer 1

There was 70% increase in Emma's pay.

Explanation:

Given:

Last Paid Salary = 152,590

Current Salary = 259,403

we need to find the percent of increase in emma's pay.

We will first find the amount increase in emma's pay.

We will find the amount Increased by Subtracting Last Paid Salary with Current Salary.

amount Increased = 259,403 - 152590 = 106,813.

Now we will find the percentile increase in amount.

percentile increase in amount is calculated by dividing amount increased with last salary and then multiplied with 100 we get;

Percent tile increase in amount =
`(106813)/(152590)* 100= 70\%`

Hence there was 70% increase in Emma's Pay.
