Question

The price of a movie ticket was increase from $10.00 to $12.50. By what percentage was the price of the television increase?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The increase is 12.50 -10.00 = 2.5

As a proportion of the original cost this is 2.5/10 = 0.25.

Multiply through by 100 to give this as a percentage.

In other words, it is a 25% increase.

(To be clear, this is the increase in the price of the movie ticket. Your question for some reason talks about a television increase).
