Solution

To find out how much more expensive the pineapple is compared to the banana, you need to follow these steps:

  1. First, find the difference in cost between the pineapple and the banana. Subtract the cost of the banana from the cost of the pineapple: 135 Lek - 50 Lek = 85 Lek.

  2. Next, to find out what percentage this difference is of the cost of the banana, divide the difference by the cost of the banana: 85 Lek ÷ 50 Lek = 1.7.

  3. Finally, to express this as a percentage, multiply by 100: 1.7 x 100 = 170%.

So, the pineapple costs 170% more than the banana.
