Answer 1

Answer:

A) 21.43%

B) 12.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Increase in price = 34 - 28 = 6

Percent increase in price = (Increase in price ÷ Original Price) × 100

Percent increase in price = (6 ÷ 28) × 100

Percent increase in price = 21.43% (Approx.)

B) Decrease in price = 82 - 72 = 10

Percent decrease in price = (Decrease in price ÷ Original Price) × 100

Percent decrease in price = (10 ÷ 82) × 100

Percent decrease in price = 12.2% (Approx.)
