Answer:

100%

Explanation:

The initial price of the paper = 1.99

The final price of the pack of paper = 3.98

We need to find the percentage increase in the price of the product. It can be solved as follows :


\%=(3.98-1.99)/(1.99)* 100\\\\=100\%

So, the percentage increase in the price of the product is 100%.
