Question

The price of lunch in the school cafeteria was 2.50$ last year this year the price is 2.70$. What is the percent increase

Answer 1

8 percent

Explanation:

There is an 8 percent increase, because if you do 20 cents divided by 250 cents, you get 0.08, which is 8 percent. Also to double check, you can do 250 * 1.08. By the way, that is some rip off lunch.
