Question

The price of a plane ticket has increased from $150 to $200. By what percent has the price increased?

A) 15%
B) 25%
C) 33%
D) 50%

Answer 1

There is a formula to figure out questions like this:

The price difference/ the original price and times the whole equation by 100 (to get the percentage).

> ($50/$150) x 100 = 33% (rounded)

Answer 2

The answer is the option C

`33\%`

Explanation:

we know that

`\$150` ------> represent the
`100\%`

so

by proportion

Find what percent has the price increased

`(100)/(150)(\%)/(\$)=(x)/(200-150)(\%)/(\$) \\ \\x=(200-150)*100/150\\ \\x=50*100/150\\ \\x=33.33\%`
