Answer:


(80)/(370) OR
(8)/(37)

Explanation:

So first you find the difference between the new cost and the old cost:

450 - 370 = 80

So the increase was 80.

When you write it as a fraction you write the increase ( 80 ) over the starting cost ( 370 ).

Thus the answer becomes
(80)/(370)

But you can always reduce it to its lowest terms thus:


(8)/(37)
