Question

The price of your favorite brand of jeans was

$35 last month. This month the price is $42.
What is the percent of change from last month
to this month?

Answer 1

The percent change is an increase of 20%

35x20%=7
35+7=42

Answer 2

Given , initial price = 35
final price = 42
We know that , % change = change × 100 /initial
= 42 - 35 × 100 / 35
= 700/35
= 20 %
The change in % is 20 .
