For this case we can make the following rule of three:
 90.00 $ -----------------> 100%
 $ 108.00 ---------------> x
 From here, we clear the value of x.
 We have then:
 [tex]x = (108/90) * (100) x = 120[/tex]
 Then, the percentage of increase is:
 [tex]120 - 100 = 20 [/tex]
 Answer:
 
The percentage increase of the cost of the jacket is 20%
