What does it mean to get a 150% salary raise? Explain in words and then give an example showing a calculation.
well, start by thinking what is a 50% raise
in all cases, original = 100
now 50% = 50
so now 150 instead of 100
now 100% = 100
so now 200 instead of 100
now 150%
so now 250 instead of 100
In other words 150% raise is 150% more than original or 250% OF original. Two and a half times original :)

To understand what it means to get a 150% salary raise, let's break it down. When referring to a salary raise, we are talking about an increase in your current salary. The percentage indicates how much your salary will increase relative to your current salary.
A 150% salary raise means that your new salary will be 150% of your current salary. In other words, your salary will increase by 150% of its current value.
For example, let's say you have a current salary of $1000 per month. If you receive a 150% salary raise, you multiply your current salary by 150% to calculate the increase.
150% of $1000 is calculated as:
(150/100) x $1000 = $1,500
Therefore, with a 150% salary raise, your new monthly salary would be $1,500. This represents an increase of $500 ($1,500 - $1,000) or 150% of your current salary.
