Rachel's salary used to be $71,765.36. After changing the amount of time she works, she has begun earning $125,589.38. By what percent did Rachel's salary increase?

Answer 1

First, find the difference in Rachel's salary before and after the change:

$125,589.38 - $71,765.36 = $53,824.02

Therefore, Rachel's salary increased by 74.94% after the change in the amount of time she works.
