The price of a Tv was increased from $240.00 to 300.00.What is the percent increase in the price of television ?

Answer 1

The percent increase is 25% . $300-$240 (=$60) is the difference. You will need to divide that by the original price of 240, which is 1/4, equalling 25%. You can double check this is correct by taking 25% of $240 and adding that to $240 to see if it will equal $300.
