Maria just got a raise at work she was making $9 per hour but now she makes 150% over that amount explain how you would find the amount of money maria now makes per hour.

so, she was making $9/hr, then she's da bomb so she got a raise of 150%.

making 150% over that amount means more than that amount, so her raise was 150%, congrats to Maria.

if we take 9 to be the 100%, then adding 150% to that will be 100% + 150% = 250%.
