Step-by-step explanation:

Q.

The price of an article increases from 960 to 1080. Find the percentage increase in the price.

.

Solution -

Old price = 960

Price after increment = 1080

.

Total increament in price = price after increament - old price

= 1080 - 960

= 120

.

$the \: percentage \: increase \: in \: price = \frac{increament}{old \: price} \times 100\%\\ = \frac{120}{960} \times 100\% \\ \\ = \frac{1}{8} \times 100\% \\ \\ = \frac{100}{8} \% \\ \\ = 12.5\%$

Hence the percentage increase in price is 12.5%
