Answer 2

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Person's current salary = 12500

Person's salary after increase = 14375

Increase in Salary = 14375 - 12500

                              = 1875

Percentage increase = $\frac{increase}{original} * 100$

                                   = $\frac{1875}{12500} *100$

                                   = 0.15 * 100 = 15%

Therefore the Person's Salary has increased by 15%
