Michelle received an increase in salary from $33,000/yr to $35,000/yr.
What was his percent increase ( TO THE NEAREST TENTH OF A PERCENT ) in salary ?
If inflation is 5% a year, is she better off this year than last year?

Sorry it's a long question...

Thank you for helping :)

Respuesta :

The increase percentage by using ((x-y)/x)x100 using x as the original price and y as the increase gives you about "6%" but I can be wrong.
