Question

Employees at the hardware store are receiving pay raises. Dan’s hourly pay rate is increasing from $12 to $14 and Kathy’s hourly pay rate is increasing from $13 to $15.

What was Dan's percent increase in pay?

What was Kathy's percent increase in pay?

Answer 1

12/14 x 100% = 85.7%

100% - 85.7% = 14.3% increase for Dan

13/15 x 100% = 86.7%

100% - 86.7% = 13.3% increase for Kathy
