Question

The price of an article is increased from 20 to 250. Which of the following is the percentage increase? 3​

Answer 1

1150 %

Step-by-step explanation:

initial price = 20

final price = 250

Increase in price = final price - initial price

→250-20

→230

$\boxed{ \sf \: percentage \: increase \: = \frac{increase \: in \: price}{initial \: price} \times 100 \% }$

$\sf \: percentage \: increase \: = \large{\frac{230}{20}} \times 100 \%$

→11.5 x 100%

→1150%
