Answer 1

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

.25(3,600)=900

3,600+900=4,500

Answer 2

Answer:

%25

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find increase amount.

4500 - 3600 = 900

To find the percentage of the increase, we need to divide increase amount by  initial car price, and multiply the result by 100.

→ 900 / 3600 = 0.25

→ 0.25 * 100 = 25
