Question 1092869
Initial pocket money - 80
Increased by 110 :- New pocket money would be (80 + 110) = 190 

Hence percentage increase:

Change in the value/Initial value * 100

[where change in value denotes :- new - initial]

i.e. (190 - 80) = 110 
=> 110/80 * 100

137.5% increase.


Alternatively, it could be clearly seen from the question that change is 110. Pocket money increase BY 110. Thus directly can be put in the formula as 110/80 * 100
