Answer:

20.00%

Explanation:

$12-$10=$2

2/100

2/100 / 2 = 1/50

1/50=0.02

0.02×100=20%

Answer:

%120

Explanation:

The original cost was $10 then it went to $12, so 100 percent representing the 10, then with 2 dollars left it is 20 percent. You can check by multiplying 1.2 by 10.

Hope I helped :]
