Question

Price of an item increased from $₹16.50$ to $₹41.25$. Find the percentage increase in price.​

Answer 1

Here given that price of item = $₹16.50$

Its price changes to $₹41.25$

So, Its increase in price =$₹41.25-₹16.50=₹24.75$

So, increase in percent is $\frac{24.75}{16.50}\times 100=$$150\%$

Hence, percentage increase in price is $150\%$.
