Customer: "I buy the same items every week and my bill is normally $90.00. Why am I now being charged $108.00 for the exact same items?"
Employee: "Unfortunately, the increased cost of raw materials has forced us to increase our prices by __________."

Respuesta :

The answer is going to be 17%. This is because 90 is about 83% of 108. If you subtract 83 by 100 you get.... 17.

Hope this Helps! :)

The increased cost of raw materials has forced us to increase the prices by 20%.

The normal cost of the items = $90.00.

The increased cost of the items =  $108.00

Increment in cost of item =  $108.00 - $90.00.

Increment in cost of item = $18.00

What is the percentage?

The Percentage is the value per hundred.

Percentage increment in cost = [Increment in cost/Normal Cost]*100

Percentage increment in cost =(18/90)*100

Percentage increment in cost =20%

Therefore, the increased cost of raw materials has forced us to increase the prices by 20%.
