Answer 1

Answer:

The increase percentage of tablet was 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of the a tablet was increased from $180 to $207

Old Price = $180

New Price = $207

Increased price (Change in price) = New Price - Old price

                                                       =  207 - 180

                                                       =  $27

Increase percentage = Change in price/Old price x 100

$\text{Increase percentage }= \dfrac{27}{180}\times 100$

                                                   $=15\%$

Hence, The increase percentage of tablet was 15%

Answer 2

207-180=27
27/180= .15
It was increased by 15%.
