If consumption of sugar increases from 12 kg to 15 kg, then what is the percentage increase?

Correct option is B

Given:

Initial consumption of sugar = 12 kg.

Final consumption of sugar = 15 kg.

Formula Used:

Percentage Increase = $$\frac{\text{Final Value} - \text{Initial Value}}{\text{Initial Value}} \times 100$$​​

Solution:

Initial Value = 12

Final Value = 15

Increase in consumption = 15 - 12

Increase in consumption = 3

​$$Percentage Increase = \frac{3}{12} \times 100\\\ \\Percentage Increase = 0.25 \times 100$$​​

Percentage Increase = 25%
