Which of the following statements are true?

A is correct. $1 is 5% of $20. If an employee makes less than $20.00 an hour (e.g. $19 dollars an hour), a $1 increase is 5.26%, which is greater than 5%.
B is correct. 5% of $22.00 is $1.10 per hour.
C is correct. 5% of $24.00 is $1.20. $24.00 + $1.20 = $25.20 per hour.
B is correct. 5% of $22.00 is $1.10 per hour.
C is correct. 5% of $24.00 is $1.20. $24.00 + $1.20 = $25.20 per hour.

How can we find out in such questions the percent increase? like here it is taken as 5% of 20. So how can we assume that?
