Question

the price of rice is increased from $ 52 to $58 per kg. what is the percentage of increases?​

Answer 1

Increase in price = current price - original price

increase in price = 58 - 52

increase in price = 6

$\mapsto{\frac{increase\:in\:price}{original\:price}\:×\:100}$

$\mapsto{\frac{6}{52}\:×\:100}$

$\mapsto{\frac{600}{52}}$

$\mapsto{\cancel{\frac{600}{52}}}$

$\mapsto{11.5\:℅}$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

price of rice before 52$

Now increased to 58$

Increase in price =current price - original price =

58$=52$

$Therefore, \: percentage \: increase \: in \: price = </p><p>\dfrac{increased \: price}</p><p>{original \: \: price} ×100\%$

$\dfrac{58}{52} \times 100\%$

$\dfrac{ 580}{52}\%$

$\fbox\red{ 10\%}$
