Question

robert wants to buy a computer game that cost $25 last week. This week when he went back to buy the game, the price was $35. what was the percent increase in the price?

Answer 1

40% increase

Explanation:

You can find the increase by dividing the new price by the old one. That's 35/25, which is 1.4. 1.4 is 0.4 more than 1 (which is 100%), so it's 40% greater than last week.
