What is a fraction?

A fraction is used to represent the portion/part of the whole thing. It represents the equal parts of the whole. A fraction has two parts, namely numerator and denominator.

For the given situation,

The statement is given as price increased by 1/2.

Let us assume, we have an item costs 1$.

Now the price is increased by 1/2, so we need to add the fraction to 1.

⇒ $1+\frac{1}{2}$

⇒ $3/2$

⇒ $1.5$

Hence we can conclude that option (E) the price is now 1.5 of what it was before is the correct answer.
