Answer:

The percentage increase in iron is 50 %.

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever a quantity or ratio can be stated as a fraction of 100, it is said to be a percentage.

If we need to determine a percentage of a number, multiply it by 100 and divide it by the total.

As a result, the percentage refers to a part per hundred.

Consequently, a percentage denotes a component per hundred.

The initial amount of iron per serving = 1.2 milligrams

The final amount of iron per serving = 1.8 milligrams.

Increase in iron per serving = (1.8 - 1.2) iron per serving = 0.6 iron per serving.

Percent increase in iron = (Increase in amount/Initial amount) × 100

Percent increase of iron = (0.6/1.2) × 100 = 50 %

Therefore, the percentage increase in iron is 50 %.
