Question

THE PRICE OF A MATH BOOK WENT FROM $14.25 TO $22.80. WHAT WAS THE PERCENT INCREASE IN THE PRICE OF THE MATH BOOK? MY ANSWER:37.05? CAN YOU CONFIRM

Answer 1

Percent increase = (new price - original price)/original price x 100

From the information given,

original price = $14.25

new price = $22.8

Thus,

Percent increase = (22.8 - 14.25)/14.25 x 100

Percent increase = 60%
