the same exercise book for Rs. 12. Let's calculate the percentage increses
price of the excercise book​


Sagot :

Given :-

  • Cost of school exercise book was Rs. 10

  • Now , she had to pay Rs. 12 for it .

To Find :-

  • The increase percentage of price of that book .

Solution :-

[tex]\underline{\bf{\dag} \:\bold{As\;we\;know\: that\: :}}[/tex]

[tex]\sf Increase \% = \dfrac{(Value\;Increased)}{Initial\; Value} \times 100 \%[/tex]

According to the question,

→ Increase of Price = ( Rs. 12 - Rs. 10 )

  ⇒ Rs. 2

→ Initial Value  = Rs. 10

Let's solve by putting the values in the formula !

[tex]\sf \leadsto \dfrac{2}{10} \times 100 \%[/tex]
