Answer:

26%

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Price=$42

New Price = $53


\text{Percentage Change=}\frac{Final\text{ Price-Original Price}}{\text{Original Price}}*100

Substituting the given values:


\begin{gathered} \text{Percentage Change=}\frac{53-42}{\text{4}2}*100 \\ \text{=}\frac{11}{\text{4}2}*100 \\ \approx26\%\text{ (to the nearest whole number)} \end{gathered}

The percentage increase in the price of the scooter is 26%.
