To calculate the percent increase, we subtract the original amount (in this case, $30,000) from the new amount (in this case, $35,500) and divide by the original amount. Then, we multiply by 100 to find the percentage.
The increase is $35,500 - $30,000 = $5,500.
The percent increase is (5,500 / 30,000) * 100 = 18.3% (rounded to the nearest tenth).
Therefore, Sam's salary increased by approximately 18.3%.
The increase is $35,500 - $30,000 = $5,500.
The percent increase is (5,500 / 30,000) * 100 = 18.3% (rounded to the nearest tenth).
Therefore, Sam's salary increased by approximately 18.3%.
