Started at 12...went to 15...that's a 3 dollar change

So what percent of the original 12...is 3?

$$\large \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4} = ?$$

it goes from twelve dollars to 15 so thats a $3/$12 increase thus making it 1/4 and 25%

@chakradhar  you need to show calculations not just plain answers.

yes..increase in cost=15-12=3$..so,(3/initialcost)=3/12 gives u the increased cost of pizza over initial cost..and 2 get % ,just multiply by 100.
