Description : The price of dhal is increased from $ 30 to $ 37.5 per kg. Find the percentage increase in price. a) 25 b) 60 c) 45 d) None e) 98
Last Answer : Answer: A Price of dhal before = $30 Price of dhal now = $ 37.5 Increase in dhal = current price - original price = $37.5 - $ 30 = $ 7.5 Therefore, percentage increase in price = Increase in price/ ... = 7.5 / 30 100 = 750/100 = 25 % Thus, increase in price= 25 %
