Answer:

19%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage increase = ( (final value - original value) / original value ) x 100

= ( ($71.40 - $60.00) / $60.00 ) x 100

= 19%

[tex]71.40 - 60 = 11.40[/tex]

to find the increase of percentage, divide the amount of increasing price with intial price and multiply with 100%

[tex] \frac{11.40}{60} \times 100\% = 19\%[/tex]

so the cost of jacket has increased 19%
