Question

A pair of jeans cost $32 last year this year they cost $38 what was the percent increase? PLEASE ANSWER NEED HELP!

Answer 1

Answer:

18.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent increase = $\frac{increase}{original cost}$ × 100%

Increase in cost = $38 - $32 = $6

percent increase = $\frac{6}{32}$ × 100% = $\frac{6(100)}{32}$ = 18.75%
