Question

Price of pencil is increased from RS.4 to RS.5 what is the percentage of RS

Answer 1

To calculate the percentage increase: First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing. Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

initial price = RS. 4
final price =RS.5
difference =final price - initial price = 5 - 4 = RS.1

percentage increment = (differnce / initial price) x 100 = (1/4) x100 = 100/4 = 25 %
pencil price increase by 25%
