Answer 1

Option B

Explanation:

To find the increased amount, we have to subtract the original value from the Increased value.

`\sf \boxed{\bf Increased \ percentage = (increased \ value - original \ value)/(Original \ value)*100}`

`\sf = ((75-65))/(65)*100\\\\\\=(10)/(65)*100\\\\= 15.38 \%\\\\= 15 \%`
