Question

The price of petrol is increased from R12,58 per litre to R13,28 per litre. Determine the percentage increase in the price.​

Answer 1

Answer: 5.56%

Explanation:

Deduct the original price from the price that reflects the increase to get the increment.

R13 28-R 12,58 = R, 70

Place the increase on the original price and multiply by 100%

R, 70/R 12,58 x 100/1

Percentage increase = 5.56%

To check, calculate 5.56%o of 12,58 and add to 12,58, you will get R13,28
