An employee receives a pay increase from $35,000 per year to $37,500 per year. calculate the percent increase. round to the nearest tenth of a percent.

The percentage increase in salary of employee is 7.14 %  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The initial pay of employee = $35,000 per year

The increase pay of employee = $37,500 per year

Let The percentage increase in salary =  X %

So, X  =  × 100

Or, X  =  × 100

Or,  X  =  × 100

∴     X = 0.0714  × 100  = 7.14 %

Hence The percentage increase in salary of employee is 7.14 %   Answer

Percentage increase = 7.14%

Step-by-step explanation:

An employee receives a pay increase from $35,000 per year to $37,500 per year. This means that the previous amount that the employee was receiving is $35,000 per year.

The amount that the employee is currently receiving is $37,500

Increase in pay =

The amount that the employee is currently receiving per year - previous amount that the employee was receiving per year. This means

Increase in pay = 37,500 - 35,000

= $2500

The percent increase = Increase in pay / previous amount that the employee was receiving per year × 100. It becomes

2500/35000 × 100

7.14%

step-by-step explanation:

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
