The price of a plane ticket has increased from $150 to $200. By what percent has the price increased? (1 point)
A. 15%
B. 25%
C. 33%
D. 50%
B. 25%
To calculate the percentage increase, you would first find the difference between the new price and the original price: $200 - $150 = $50.
Then, you would divide the difference by the original price and multiply by 100 to find the percentage increase: ($50/$150) * 100 = 33.33%.
Therefore, the price has increased by 33.33%, which is closest to option C.
