n employee makes $161 per hour but is getting a 45% increase. What is his new wage per hour to the nearest cent?

Consider this scenario for an hourly employee:

An hourly employee who earns $27.63 an hour is being promoted and her hourly rate will increase by $1.25 per hour.

Again, divide 1.25 by 27.63 and the result is 0.045, which is 4.5 percent.

Her new hourly rate will be $28.88, so double check your math.
