Question

Houses cost £150 000 one year ago they now cost £_____this is a 25% increase

i haven't seen this anywhere

Answer 1

£150000=100%

125%=125/100×150000

=£187500 is now the cost of a house

I had 125% because the original cost is alway equal to 100%, so if it is increased by 25% then you sum the two percentages up to get your new price

Explanation:

Answer 2

187,500
150000x1.25
Hope this helps
