Aaron wants a raise in his salary to $12.00 an hour. His hourly pay right now is $9 an hour. He decides to ask his boss for a 25% raise to get his desired hourly rate. Do you agree? why? or why not? support your written answer by showing your math work
I do not agree . 25% of his hourly pay equals $ 2.25 .25 * 9 = 2.25 9+2.25=11.25 He wants his hourly pay to be $12 . 12-9 = $3 so, he needs his hourly pay to be increased by $3 to reach his goal. $3 is 1/3 of his current hourly pay . 1/3 = 33% now .33*9= $ 3 * means times ( multiplied by) Hope that this helps !
