Question

Calculate the percent of increase for the $49 video game that is now being sold for $300.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\color{blue}\textsf{The percentage increase in price is \textbf{512.22\% }}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the earlier price of the video game was $ 49 and now it's being sold for $ 300 . We need to calculate the percentage increase in price .

So the increase in cost is $( 300 - 49 ) = $ 251 .

So we can calculate the % increase as ,

$\qquad\boxed{\boxed{\sf\% Increase = \dfrac{ Increase\ in \ price }{Original\ price } \times 100 }}$

Substituting the respective values :-

$\sf\implies \% Increase = \dfrac{ Increase\ in \ price }{Original\ price } \times 100 \\\\\sf\implies \% Increase =\dfrac{\ 251}{\ 49 }\times 100 \\\\\sf\implies \% Increase = 5.122 \times 100 \\\\\implies \boxed{\pink{\frak{ \% Increase = 512.24 \% }}}$
