Answer:

The jacket increase by 25% in price.

Explanation:

Given that:

Sale price of jacket = $210

New cost of jacket = $262.50

Change = New cost - Sale price

Change = 262.50 - 210 = $52.50

Percent increase =
$(Change)/(Sale\ price)*100$

Percent increase =
(52.50)/(210)*100

Percent increase = 0.25 * 100

Percent increase = 25%

Hence,

The jacket increase by 25% in price.
