    First, we need to find out how much the price increased by.

    $4.50 - $3.75 = $0.75

    Now we have to figure out what percent $0.75 is of $3.75. To do this, we divide $0.75 by $3.75.

    The answer is 0.2. Now, we convert this into a percent by moving the decimal to the right by to spaces: 0.2 = 20%

    The percent of increase is 20%.
