Question

A pair of jeans cost $32 last year this year they cost $38 what was the percent increase? PLEASE ANSWER NEED HELP!

Answer 1

18.75%

Explanation:

percent increase =
`(increase)/(original cost)` × 100%

Increase in cost = $38 - $32 = $6

percent increase =
`(6)/(32)` × 100% =
`(6(100))/(32)` = 18.75%
