Quantitative Aptitude ( CCS) Percentage

The price of rice is increased from $10 to $12.50 per kg. Find the percentage increase in price.

22%

25%

28%

30%

Price of rice before = $10

Price of rice now = $12.50

Increase in price = current price – original price

= $12.50 - $10 = $2.50

Therefore, percentage increase in price = Increase in price/Original price × 100 %

= 2.50/10 × 100 %

= 250/10 % = 25 %

Thus, increase in price= 25 %

Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
