Given :-

  • Cost of school exercise book was Rs. 10

  • Now , she had to pay Rs. 12 for it .

To Find :-

  • The increase percentage of price of that book .

Solution :-


\underline{\bf{\dag} \:\bold{As\;we\;know\: that\: :}}


\sf Increase \% = ((Value\;Increased))/(Initial\; Value) * 100 \%

According to the question,

→ Increase of Price = ( Rs. 12 - Rs. 10 )

⇒ Rs. 2

→ Initial Value = Rs. 10

Let's solve by putting the values in the formula !


\sf \leadsto (2)/(10) * 100 \%

⇝2×10%

⇝20%

∴ The percent of increase in price of that school exercise book is 20 %
