Given :
→ Original price for a litre of petrol = Rs.1258
→ New price for the litre of petrol = Rs.1328
To Find :
→ The percentage of price increase.
Solution :
We will have to find the price increase in one litre of petrol at first.
The original price of the petrol was Rs.1258 per litre and the new price of the petrol is Rs.1328 per litre.
→ New price - Original price = Increase amount
→ 1328 - 1258 = Increase amount
→ 1328 - 1258 = 70
The increase amount is Rs. 70
Now,
To find the increase percent, we have to use the formula :
→ Increase amount/Original price × 100
→ 70/1258 × 100
→ 5.56%
The percentage of increase of the price of petrol is 5.56%.
