Question

The price of sugar has increased from ₹32 per kg to ₹40 per kg. The percentage increase in the price of sugar is?

Answer 1

25%

Explanation:

First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

Increase = New Number - Original Number.

Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

% increase = Increase ÷ Original Number × 100.

Answer 2

Explanation:

%change=100(final-initial)/(initial)

%change=100(40-32)/32

%change=25%
