Question

A car dealership increased the price of a certain car by 11%. The original price was $42,200.

(a) Fill in the blank to write the new price in terms of the original price.
Write your answer as a decimal.
New price - Original price
(b) Use your answer in part (a) to determine the new price.

Answer 1

So, with percentages the easiest way is to multiply the 42200 by 0.11. After that you get (4642.00) < Answer to A so you add 42200 to 4642 to get the new price. That should bring you to (46842.0) < Answer to B
