rishonly  +  138528 Sat, 17 Sep 05 05:38 PM Hello, Last month , price of a product was $100. Now, the price is $125. What are the different ways to describe the price increase in terms of (a) dollar amount (b) percentage of increase?. Also, please confirm the following sentences make sense?   1. The price rose/increased  from $100 to $125. 2. The price rose/increased by  $25. 3. The price rose/increased by 25%.    rishonly Joined on Sat, Mar 5 2005 KUMBAKONAM,INDIA Contributing Member 1,772 Regards, Krishna

I would say, "The price is increased by 25%." The-Best Joined on Sat, Sep 17 2005 Eastern, USA New Member 24
