Question

PLEASE HELP!! I've been stuck on this question for many days now and haven't found a correct answer! Thanks in advance!!!

Darius makes a shirt for $8. He sells the shirt for $18. By what percentage did Darius increase the cost of the shirt?

Answer 1

225% seems like the best answer.

Answer 2

The first time I did the math including 8 but we are increasing it so it will just be how much did the price increase from 8 to 18 well I know 100% of 8 is 8 so thats 100% and 25% of 8 is 2 so I added the two and 8 + 8 = 16 + 2 = 18 I added those percents 100 + 25 = 125%
