Answer:

9.8%

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the change in price

2.55 - 2.30 = $0.25

Step 2: Divide change with original price

0.25 / 2.55 = 0.098....%

Step 3: Multiple by 100 to get percent

0.098 x 100 = 9.8%

9.8 percent. All you have to do is subtract 2.30 from 2.55 and then divide that answer by 2.55 and then multiply that by 100
