Solution

To calculate the percent of increase for the price of the scooter, follow these steps:

  1. First, find the difference in price between this month and last month. Subtract the previous price from the current price. So, 5656 - 35 = $21.

  2. Next, divide the difference by the original price. So, 21÷21 ÷ 35 = 0.6.

  3. Finally, to convert this to a percentage, multiply by 100. So, 0.6 x 100 = 60%.

Therefore, the percent of increase for the price of the scooter is 60%.
