If you go from $95 a week to $100, means a (100-95) $5 increase. To calculate the % we have to consider the following:

Base amount x percentage = Resulting amount

95·\(\frac{x}{100}\) = 5, being "X" the percentage we want to find out

Applying the rules of the equations , we get
X = \(\frac{5}{95}100\) = 0'0526·100 = 5'26

The percent increase will be 5'26%

The increase is $5.00 .

As a fraction of the original salary, the increase is  5/95 .

To change a fraction to a decimal, do the division.

                         5 divided by 95  =  0.05263... (rounded)

To change a decimal to a percentage, move
the decimal point 2 places that way ==> .

                                         0.0526...  =  5.263... percent.
