Question

1.2 The price of bread increased from R12 to R18. Calculate the percentage increase. AIULIUCI​

Answer 1

percentage increase = 50%

Explanation:

percentage increase is calculated as

`(increase)/(original)` × 100%

increase = 18 - 12 = R 6 , then

percentage increase =
`(6)/(12)` × 100% = 0.5 × 100% = 50%
