Answer 1

The percentage of increase = 40%

Explanation:

Formula:-

Percentage increase = ( Difference in value* 100)/Initial value

Difference = Final value - Initial vale

It is given that,

The price of an item is increased from $400 to $560

To find the increasing percentage

Here initial value = $400

Final value = $560

Difference = 560 - 400 = 160

Increasing percentage (160 * 100)/400 = 40%

Therefore percentage of increase in price = 40%

Answer 2

40%

Explanation:

To calculate the percent of increase of the price, we need to first find out the value of the increase.

It was $400 and is now $560, so the price was raised by $160.

Now, we see what percent $160 is from $400 by dividing $160 by $400, so $160 / $400 = 2/5 or 0.4 or 40%

The price of the iteam Sam and Ava want was raised by 40%! They should have bought it earlier!
