NEED HELP ASAP 10 POINT QUESTION-example-1

Answer:

The original price of the car can be written in percentage which is 100%. Because the price increased by 6%, therefore, the new price should be represented as:

100% + 6% = 106% = 1.06 (remember: not 0.06, that is how much the price increased, not 0.94 either, because the price increased, not decreased).

So the answer for the first question should be:

(a) new price = 1.06 × original price

from that, we can appy the answer above for the second question:

(b) new price: $33390

You just do

106/100 * 31,500 to find 6% higher
