Answer:
7.14%
Step-by-step explanation:
Any comparison with the increase or decrease in price has to be compared to the ORIGINAL price. (at the beginning of the month.)
The price increased from $3.50 to $3.75, an increase of $0.25
To find what percent it is use:[tex]\frac{change}{original}[/tex]×100%
[tex]\frac{0.25}{3.50}[/tex]×100%
Answer:
7.1428571% increase
7 1/7 % increase
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent increase ( we know this is an increase since the amount went up), take the new amount and subtract the original amount
3.75 - 3.50 = .25
Divide by the original amount
.25 / 3.50
.071428571
Multiply by 100 %
7.1428571%
7 1/7 %
