By what percentage did the price of a pound of tomatoes increase?

(1) Before the increase, the price of a pound of tomatoes was 50 cents.

(2) The price of tomatoes increased by 20 cents per pound.

IMO B

A doesnot give any info of current price

B basically tells the percentage increase i.e 20%

In order to calculate % of increase / decrease, we need to know the original amount (price in this case) and by how much that amount has changed:
Increase/decrease= (changed amount-original amount)/ original amount

Statement 1 tells us the original price
Statement 2 tells us the amount by which the price changed: from 50 cents to 70 cents

So, to calculate increase: (70-50)/50=0.4; 0.4*100%=40%

So, choose C
