Question

If the price of a stapler increase from Rs 50 to Rs 54, find the percentage increase?

Answer 1

We can use proportions to solve this. We need to subtract 54 from 50. This gives us 4. Therefore, our fraction can be 4/50. Then, our next fraction is x/100. We can cross multiply 4*100 is 400. 400/50 is 8. The percentage increase is 8.

Answer 2

Hope this helps have a nice day
