Question

Marie will earn $15 per hour at a new job. During training, she will earn $10 per hour. What percent of Marie’s regular hourly rate will she earn during training?

Answer 1

Answer: 66.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The amount Marie will earn at a new job = $15 per hour

The amount she will earn during the training = $10 per hour

The percent of Marie’s regular hourly rate she will earn during training is given by :-

$P=\frac{\text{Rate of amount she earn in training }}{\text{Rate of amount she earn at new job }}\times100\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\frac{10}{15}\times100\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=66.66666\%\approx66.67\%$
