Answer:

108%

Explanation:

To find the percent increase, its 'difference/original'

25 - 12 = 13

Why: To find the difference between 5 years later and when Arjun bought it.

13 รท 12 = 1.083333...

Why: To find the percent increase.

Rounding to the nearest whole percent.

To get the percent, move the decimal point 2 times to the right.

= 108.3333...

Then, round it to the percent.

= 108%

Its 108 because 3 is smaller than 5 which makes 8 stay the same.
