Answer 2

Answer:

First let's find the increase of the original price to it's new price;

24.10 - 22.99 = 1.11, there was a $1.11 increase.

Though, we need to find the percentage, using the formula:-

Changed price       100

____________ x _____ (100%)

Original amount        1

Our changed price was 1.11, and our original price was 22.99.

 1.11          100

_____ x _____ = 4.828 which rounds to 4.83%

22.99        1
