Answer 1

Answer:

The percentage increase in price in the starting month of November = 26%  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The initial price of internet on a phone = $9.00 per month

The price of internet on a phone in month of November = $11.34

So, percentage increase = $\frac{Final value - initial value}{initial value}$ ×100

I.e percentage increase =  $\frac{ 11.34 - 9.00}{ 9.00}$ ×100

Or, percentage increase =  $\frac{ 2.34}{ 9.00}$ ×100

∴  percentage increase = 0.26

Hence The percentage increase in price in the starting month of November = 26%   Answer
