Answer 2

Given,

Original cost of car = $30000

Price went up for = 30%

Then by another = $6000

To find,

How much did the price go up as a percentage of the original price?

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Now, we have to calculate the price of the car after price increase for two times.

Price after first price increase :

= $30000 + ($30000 × 30/100)

= $30000 + $9000

= $39000

Price after second price increase :

= $39000 + $6000

= $45000

So,

Original price = $30000

Increased price = $45000

Difference between increased price and original price = ($45000 - $30000) = $15000

Now,

The percentage of price increase w.r.t original price :

= 100 × (Difference between increased price and original price / Original price)

= (100 × 15000/30000) %

= 50%

Hence, price went up for 50%
