Step-by-step explanation:

Old price of Falcon's Jersey=$45.89

New price = $54.99

Therefore increase in price

= $54.99 - $45.89 = $9.1

Therefore percentage increase in price (%) = 9.1/old price x 100

= 9.1/45.89 x 100

= 9.1 x 100/45.89

= 910/45.89

= 19.8%

Rounding off to the nearest whole number. = 20%.
