Answer:

20% increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent increase = (difference) / original *100 percent

                             = (12-10)/10 * 100percent

                             = 2/10 *100 percent

                             = 1/5 * 100 percent

                              =.2 * 100 percent

                              = 20%
