Question

Last week , the rate of vegetable was RS 50 per kg and this week it is increased to RS 55 per kg , find the percentage of increased in the price.​

Answer 1

Given,

Rate of vegetables last week = 50 per kg

Rate of vegetables this week= 55 per kg

Percentage increase in price =
`(Rate of \: veg \: this \:week-Rate \: of \: veg \: last \: week)/(Rate \: of \: veg \: last \:week) * 100`

`= (55 - 50)/(50) * 100`

`= (5)/(50) * 100`

`= 5 * 2`

`= 10\%`

`{{\bold{ \underline{ \underline{ \overline{ \overline{ \pink{The \: percentage \: of \: increased \: in \: the \: price \: is \: 10\%}}}}}}}}`
