Question

Find the new prices after the given percentage increases.

a] £35 increased by 10%
b} £105.99 increased by 12%

Answer 1

a] 38.5$
b] 118.71$

Explanation:

A)35$ was increased by 10%
So:
10% of 35$
10/100 x 35 ($)
3.5$
So 35$ was increased by 3.5$ and the new price is 38.5$
B)105.99$ was increased by 12%
So:
12% of 105.99$
12/100 x 105.99$
=12.7188$
Let's round it to the nearest hundredths:
12.72$

So 105.99$ was increased by 12.72$ and the new price is 118.71$
