Answer:

Percentage change= 20%

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price before tax= $5

Tax= $1

Selling price after tax= $6

To calculate the percentage increase, we need to use the following formula:

Percentage change= [(Selling price after tax - Selling price before tax)/Selling price before tax]*100

Percentage change= [(6 - 5)/5]*100

Percentage change= 20%
