Hansel makes $30,000 and received a 10% raise so his raise is 30,000*.10 = $3,000.00
Hansel now makes 30,000+ 3,000 = $<<30000+3000=33000>>33,000 a year
Gretel makes $30,000 and received a 15% raise so her raise is 30,000*.15 = $4,500.00
Gretel now makes 30,000+4,500 = $<<30000+4500=34500>>34,500 a year
If Gretel makes $34,500 a year and Hansel makes $33,000 then Gretel makes 34,500-33,000 = $<<34500-33000=1500>>1,500 more a year than Hansel
