Answer: 10%

Explanation:

Given: Previous Hourly pay=  $7.00

Current Hourly pay = $7.70

Increase in hourly pay = Current Hourly pay  - Previous Hourly pay

= $7.70- $7.00

= $0.70

Now, the percent increase in her hourly rate of pay will be :

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Increase in hourly pay}}{\text{Previous Hourly pay}}\times100\%\\\\=\dfrac{0.70}{7}\times100\%\\\\=\dfrac{1}{10}\times100\%\\\\=10\%[/tex]

Hence, the  percent increase in her hourly rate of pay = 10%
