Question

If Gary meets his supervisor’s benchmark goals in 2016, then he will earn $31,150 in 2017. Calculate the missing amount in each statement below, assuming Gary meets the benchmark goals.

Answer 1

1. 31,150 = x * 25,300
.. x = 31,150/25,300 = 1.231225... ≈ 1.23

Gary's 2017 salary is 1.23 times his 2015 salary.


2. 1.23 * 100% = 123%

Gary's 2017 salary is 123% of his 2015 salary.
