Answer 1

Answer:

Percent increase = 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Old price of shoes = $65

New price of shoes = $81

Difference = 81 - 65

Difference = 16

Percent increase = $\frac{Difference}{Old\ price}*100$

Percent increase = $\frac{16}{65}*100$

Percent increase = 0.246 * 100

Percent increase = 24.6%

Rounding off to nearest whole number

Increase = 25%

Hence,

Percent increase = 25%
