Question

Miranna teaches gymnastics lessons at summer camp. She is paid $12.50 per hour.

Miranna is offered a raise of 75% of her hourly rate to teach a private lesson.  How much per hour would she be paid for the private lesson? 

Answer 1

12.5(1.75) = 21.875

new price = $21.88 per hour

the raise = 75% of 12.50 = .75(12.5) = 9.375

9.375 + 12.50 = 21.875
