Mr. Dunn purchased a pair of football cleats in 2015 for $120. This year he purchased an identical pair of $150. What is the percent of change? Increase or decrease?

Given : old price = $120

new price = $150

Change in price = $(150-120)

                             = $30

 

% change in price = (change in price/old price) * 100

                               = (30/120) * 100%

                              = 25 %

 

Thus, price increased by 25%.
