Answer 2

Answer:

20 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial price = Rs. 2100

New price = Rs. 2520

Increase in price = New price - Initial price

                           = $2520-2100$

                           = $420$

Thus increase in the amount is Rs. 420

So, percentage of increase = $\frac{\text{increase in amount}}{\text{Initial amount}} \times 100$

                                             = $\frac{420}{2100} \times 100$

                                             = $20\%$

Hence the percentage of increase is 20 %
