8.64 %

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information provided in the question it is given as

Ten years back the price of wheat was 12 per kg.

The price of wheat today is 36 per kg.

We need to find  Find the percentage increase in the price of the wheat.​

10 year back =12/kg

Today price = 36 /kg

Increase amount = Today price - 10 year back price

substituting the values we get the increased amount

Increased amount = 36 - 12

                               = 24 Rupees /kg

Now finding the % increased of price

x % of 36 = 24

$\frac{x}{100} \times 36 = 24\\\frac{24}{100} \times 36= x\\x=8.64\%$

Hence there is a increased in price percentage of 8.64 %  

Answer 2
