Answer 2

Answer:

If rupees 50 and 55 are the prices of vegetables last week and this week respectively, then increase in percentage of price is 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Rate of vegetables last week = 50 per kg

Rate of vegetables this week= 55 per kg

Percentage increase in price = (Rate of vegetables this week-Rate of vegetables last week/Rate of vegetables last week )*100

$=\frac{55-50}{50} *100\\\\=\frac{5}{50} *100\\\\=5*2\\\\=10$

So percentage increase in price is 10%
