Sagot :

Given,

Rate of vegetables last week = 50 per kg

Rate of vegetables this week= 55 per kg

Percentage increase in price = [tex]\frac{Rate of \: veg \: this \:week-Rate \: of \: veg \: last \: week}{Rate \: of \: veg \: last \:week} \times 100[/tex]

[tex] = \frac{55 - 50}{50} \times 100[/tex]

[tex] = \frac{5}{50} \times 100[/tex]

[tex] = 5 \times 2[/tex]

[tex] = 10\%[/tex]

[tex]{{\bold{ \underline{ \underline{ \overline{ \overline{ \pink{The \: percentage \: of \: increased \: in \: the \: price \: is \: 10\%}}}}}}}}[/tex]
