Question

Vijay’s wages were increased from £115 per week to £130 per week.

What was the percentage increase to one decimal place?

Answer 1

13%

Explanation:

Increase = (New Number - Old Number) / Old Number

(130 - 115) / 115

15/115 = 0.130434783.

0.130434783 * 100 (to get the percentage) = 13.0%
