Answer 1

I wanna say 6 percent if you divide

Answer 2

Answer:

50% increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that A package of organic strawberries costs $1.50 while they are in season and $2.25 when they aren't in season.

Price when in season = 1.50

Price when not in season = 2.25

The difference in the price = 0.75

For 1.50 increase = 0.75

Therefore, $\frac{0.75}{1.50}$ × 100

= 50

So answer is organic strawberries cost increase by 50% while they are not in season.
