To find the percentage increase in price, we need to compare the price per kilogram between the two purchases and calculate the percentage increase.
First, let's find the price per kilogram for each purchase:
1. For the first purchase of 1 kg of meat for #2.00, the price per kilogram is #2.00.
2. For the second purchase of 2 kg of meat for #10.00, the price per kilogram is #10.00 / 2 kg = #5.00 per kilogram.
Now, let's calculate the percentage increase:
Percentage Increase = [(New Price - Old Price) / Old Price] * 100
Substitute the values:
Percentage Increase = [(#5.00 - #2.00) / #2.00] * 100
= [(#3.00) / #2.00] * 100
= 1.5 * 100
= 150%
So, the percentage increase in price is 150%.
