Question

The price of a plane ticket has increased from $150 to $200. By what percent has the price increased?

A) 15%
B) 25%
C) 33%
D) 50%

Answer 1

There is a formula to figure out questions like this:

The price difference/ the original price and times the whole equation by 100 (to get the percentage).

> ($50/$150) x 100 = 33% (rounded)

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is the option C

$33\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

$\ 150$ ------> represent the $100\%$

so

by proportion

Find what percent has the price increased

$\frac{100}{150}\frac{\%}{\ }=\frac{x}{200-150}\frac{\%}{\ } \\ \\x=(200-150)*100/150\\ \\x=50*100/150\\ \\x=33.33\%$
