Set up a proportion in the form of:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"percent%2F100+=+part%2Fwhole\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"percent\" basically means PER 100. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Our percent here is 6.
\n" ); document.write( "Our \"whole\" here is 50,880.
\n" ); document.write( "We do not know what our part is. This will be \"x\"
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"x\" represent the increase of the amount she made from last year.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2F100+=+x%2F50%2C880\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply 6*50,880 which is 305,280.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 100 to get \"x\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This year, she is making $3,052.80 more than last year.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To get what she made last year, subtract the increase from 50,880.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "50,880 - 3,052.80 = 47827.20\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "She made $47,827.20 last year.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
