Answer 1

The percentage increase in price in the starting month of November = 26%

Explanation:

Given as :

The initial price of internet on a phone = $9.00 per month

The price of internet on a phone in month of November = $11.34

So, percentage increase =
`(Final value - initial value)/(initial value)` ×100

I.e percentage increase =
`($ 11.34 - $ 9.00)/($ 9.00)` ×100

Or, percentage increase =
`($ 2.34)/($ 9.00)` ×100

∴ percentage increase = 0.26

Hence The percentage increase in price in the starting month of November = 26% Answer
