The price of a game rises from £80 to £92. What is the percentage increase?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 15%
- Step 1: The increase is £92 - £80 = £12.
- Step 2: 12 / 80 = 0.15, which is 15%.
Answer
15%.
Why not the others: 12% treats the increase as a percentage of the new price, 14% would give £91.20 and 13% would give £90.40, not £92.
