Question

A shopkeeper first increase the price of an article by 25% then by 20%. What is the total per cent increase ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the initial price is 100

Price after increasing 25%= 100 + 100 x 25/100

                                           =125

Price after increasing 20%=125 + 125 x 20/100

                                           =125 + 125/5

                                           =150

Total percent increase=50/100 x 100

                                     =50%
