Ah, the classic case of the burger inflation! Let me crunch some numbers while putting on my clown wig.

From $1.10 to $1.59, that's a whopping increase of $0.49.

To find the percent increase, we divide the increase by the original price and multiply by 100. So, $0.49 divided by $1.10, and then multiplied by 100 gives us approximately 44.5%.

So, the price of that burger has experienced a price increase of approximately 44.5%. It's like the burger went from being a basic cheeseburger to a gourmet, deluxe burger overnight!

To find the percent increase, we can use the formula:

Percent Increase = ((New Value - Old Value) / Old Value) * 100

In this case, the old value is $1.10 and the new value is $1.59.

Percent Increase = (($1.59 - $1.10) / $1.10) * 100
Percent Increase = ($0.49 / $1.10) * 100
Percent Increase ≈ 0.4455 * 100
Percent Increase ≈ 44.55%

Therefore, the price of the hamburger increased by approximately 44.55%.

To find the percentage increase, you can use the following formula:

Percentage increase = ((New value - Old value) / Old value) x 100

In this case, the old value is $1.10 and the new value is $1.59. Plugging these values into the formula, we can calculate the percentage increase:

Percentage increase = (($1.59 - $1.10) / $1.10) x 100
Percentage increase = ($0.49 / $1.10) x 100

To simplify the equation, we divide $0.49 by $1.10:

Percentage increase = (0.4454) x 100

So, the price of the hamburger increased by approximately 44.54%.

1.59 - 1.10 = 0.49

0.49 / 1.1 = 0.445 = 45%
