Bob, I know math is difficult, so I thought I would help you out. Here's an example of calculating percentage increase:
Question:
The trustee was paid $8,000 per year for 20 hours per week 25 years ago. The trustee is now paid $43,260 for around 40 hours per week. What is the percentage increase?
Answer:
$43,260 (current pay) - $16,000 (original pay * 2) = $27,260
$27,260 / $16,000 (original pay) = 1.70
1.70 * 100 = 170% over 25 years
It is NOT 500%! Either you are lying, or you don't understand junior high school math. Which is it?
By the way, the average percentage increase per year is 4%. This is a little more difficult to calculate, so once you master percentage increase, let me know and then we can tackle the average per year problem. As always Bob, I'm here for you to answer any math questions you may have.

This is way over Bob's head.
First we must teach Bob that 1+1 does not equal 11.
Then we must find a way to help keep Bob from losing count when he runs out of fingers and must stop, mid calculation, to remove his shoes and socks in order to continue his count.
When he shows some improvement, maybe we could introduce him to ratios. 0 out of 5 means that he did not win anything, at any time, after 5 attempts.
I'm not interested in assisting with any math lessons for Bob the Idiot, but I would thoroughly enjoy teaching the dumb twit a few manners.

LOL @ Mercman
$40,000 is 500% of $8,000 and 400% more than $8000.
Apparently the argument is over Linda's head also.
Is it really that hard to at least Google: "How to calculate pay increase percentage"???
I will make it really easy for you: http://www.google.com/search?sclient=psy&hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=how+to+calculate+pay+increase+percentage
Pick one and run the numbers. It is not rocket science.
Linda, in the question I posed, you can't use $8,000, since it's based on 20 hours. You must double it to $16,000.
Bob's math calculations are as slimy as he is.
Admittedly, Barkes works 35 hours a week. Not full time, not double the supposed 20 hours of years gone by, and surely his own decision. A majority of his time is spent with the fire department anyway, controlling those poor souls and playing games with their money as well.
His salary is based on 35 hours per week, but he works much more than that. So which is it Bob Anonymous? Either you are lying, or you don't understand junior high school math.
