Topic: Solving Percentage, Base and Rate
Last year, Mr. Rivera’s salary was P5,200. After salary increase, he now earns P 9,490. By what percent did his salary increase?

My guess 5,200 pesos - Percentage
9,490 pesos - Base
? - Rate
Solution Please


Sagot :

Percentage = Rate x Base

1) Find the amount of increase (Percentage):
    9,490 - 5,200 = 4,290

2)  Compute the Rate:
 
     Percentage = Rate x Base
     4,290 = Rate x 5,200
    
     Rate = 4,290
               5,200
   
     Rate = 0.825 x 100
     
     Rate = 82.5 %

   Mr. Rivera's salary increased by 82.5%.
