2.79 - 2.49 = .30
then divide the amount increased by the original number and multiply by 100
.3 / 2.49 x 100 = 12%
then divide the amount increased by the original number and multiply by 100
.3 / 2.49 x 100 = 12%
Answer:
12%
Step-by-step explanation:
2.79 - 2.49 = $0.30
0.30 / 2.49 = 0.12 = 12% (decimal changes to percent)
You can check your work by doing original cost times the decimal of the percent increase. $2.49 * 0.12 = $0.30. Add this to original -> 0.30 + 2.49 = $2.79.
