Question

The price of a toy usually costing £50 is increased to £65 work out the percentage increase

Answer 1

30%

to calculate percentage increase

percentage increase =
`(increase)/(original price)` × 100%

increase = $65 - $50 = $15

percent increase =
`(15)/(50)` × 100% = 30%

Answer 2

Answer: 30%

Percentage Increase = (Final amount - Initial amount) / Initial amount x 100

`(65 - 50)/(50) * 100`

`(15)/(50) * 100`
=30%
