To calculate the percentage change in the price of the soft drink, we can use the formula:
Percentage Change = ((New Price - Old Price) / Old Price) x 100
New Price = R6.35
Old Price = R6.15
Percentage Change = ((6.35 - 6.15) / 6.15) x 100
Percentage Change = (0.20 / 6.15) x 100
Percentage Change = 0.0325 x 100
Percentage Change = 3.25%
Therefore, the price of the soft drink increased by 3.25%.
