Given-

Cost of milk 4 years ago = £1.05

To find-

Percentage increase in cost

Solution-

Increase in cost = £ ( 1.26 - 1.05 )

→ £ 0.21

Percentage increase :-

[tex] \frac{0.21}{1.05} \times 100[/tex]

[tex]→ 20[/tex]

Therefore, Percentage increase of the cost of milk over 4 years is 20% .

  • Initial cost =£1.05
  • Final cost=£1.26

Rate of change=1.26-1.05=£0.31

Now percentage of change

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{0.21}{1.05}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{100}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 20\%[/tex]
