Arun bought a car for Rs. 3, 50, 000. The next year, the price went up to Rs. 3,70,000. What was the Percentage of price increase?

According to the question,


Initial price of the car = Rs 3, 50, 000


After the increment in the price of the car,


Final price of the car = Rs 3, 70, 000


Therefore,


Increment in the price = 3, 70, 000 – 3, 50, 000


= Rs 20,000


Hence,


Increase percentage = × 100 %
