Question

the price of a bicycle increased from ₹ 10,000 to ₹ 15,000. Find the percentage increase in price.​

Answer 1

Answer:

original price = ₹10,000

increased price = ₹15,000

how much does it increases ?

increase - original = no. increase

₹15,000-₹10,000= ₹5000

now increase Percentage = number of increase ÷ original × 100

so,

$\frac{5000}{10000} \times 100 \\ \frac{1}{2} \times 100 \\ 100 \div 2 = 50 \\ so \: the \: percent \: increase \: is \: 50\%$
