Answer:

Percent increase = 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Old price of toy = £50

New price of toy = £65

Difference = New price - Old price

Difference = 65 - 50

Difference = £15

Percent increase = [tex]\frac{Difference}{Old\ price}*100[/tex]

Percent increase = [tex]\frac{15}{50}*100[/tex]

Percent increase = 0.3 * 100

Percent increase = 30%

Hence,

Percent increase = 30%
