Answer 1

$5.40

Explanation:

To find the increase we need to consider our variables.

Current Rate = $4.50

Increase Percentage = 20% or 0.20

Now we can find the new rate by multiplying the Current Rate to the Increase Percentage and add it to the Current Rate again.

Total Price w/ Increase = ($4.50 x 0.20) + $4.50

Total Price w/ Increase = $0.90 + $4.50

Total Price w/ Increase = $5.40
