When first hired, Deondre was earning $5.85 per hour. He has worked his way up in the business and is currently making $12.30 an hour. What is the absolute and relative change in Deondre's hourly pay from when he was first hired to now?

$6.45/hour

110.26%

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute change is the difference between salaries now ands then.

12.30 - 5.85 = 6.45

The relative change in the percent increase.

percent increase = (new number - old number)/(old number) × 100%

percent increase = (12.3 - 5.85)/(5.85) × 100%

percent increase = 110.26%

nope.   happens to me as well.
