Quiz preview

A Percentage Increase in Prices means:

A price increase only affects luxury goods, not everyday items
The price has risen by a set percentage of the original amount
The price has doubled due to inflation in the local economy
The item now costs a set number of your local currency more than before

Bread that cost 400 in local currency now costs 480 in local currency. The percentage increase is:

80% — because the new price ends in 80
120% — because the new price represents 120 divided by original
8% — because 80 in local currency divided by 1000 equals 0.08
20% — because 80 in local currency increase is 20% of 400 in local currency
