Answer: It is a 25% increase.

Step-by-step explanation: First lets subtract her new wage from her old wage. 10 - 8 = 2

Next, lets write an percent equation, for p = percent.

2 = p x 8

Basically, we are saying that her new wage will be what percent of her old wage.

Next,

2/8 = p

0.25 = p

Now, multiply 0.25 by 100 to get a percent

0.25 x 100 = 25

So her new wage is a 25% increase from her old wage.
