Oil Price Increase
1. Problem: Find the percent increase in oil price when it changed from ₱30.00 to ₱31.35 per liter.
2. Calculate the increase in price:
$$\text{Increase} = 31.35 - 30 = 1.35$$
3. Use the formula for percent increase:
$$\text{Percent Increase} = \frac{\text{Increase}}{\text{Original Price}} \times 100\% = \frac{1.35}{30} \times 100\%$$
4. Compute the percentage:
$$= 0.045 \times 100\% = 4.5\%$$
5. Conclusion: The oil price increased by 4.5%.
