Question

The price of a scooter was * 68,000 last year.
It has increased by 10% this year. What is
the price of the scooter now?​

Answer 1

Given,

Old price of scooter = 68000

Percentage increase = 10%

Percentage increase = Increase in price/Old price x 100

10 = Increase in price/68000 x 100

10 = Increase in price/680

10 x 680 = Increase in price

Increase in price = 6800

Therefore, the price of the scooter now = Old price + Increase in price

Price of scooter = 68000 + 6800

Price of scooter now = 74800
