pay is 22 dollars an hour and you get a 5 dollar an hour raise.
\n" ); document.write( "5/22 = .227272727 * 100% = 22.73% raise.
\n" ); document.write( "your pay is now 27 dollars an hour.
\n" ); document.write( "27/22 = 1.22727272727 - 1 = .22727272727 * 100% = 22.73% raise.
\n" ); document.write( "you can calculate it either way.\r
