The price of a small pizza increase from six dollars to eight dollars. What is the percent of increase in the cost of pizza? Round to the nearest percent, of necessary.

The cost of pizza increased by 33%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage increase can be calculated as follows;

Old price = $6

New price = $8

Change price = 8 — 6 = $2

Now we'll find the percentage of the old price that will amount to $2

Let the percent be y.

y% of 6 = 2

(y /100) x 6 = 2

6y / 100 = 2

Cross multiply

6y = 200

Divide both side by the coefficient of y i.e 6

y = 200/6

y = 33%

The cost of pizza increased by 33%
