Answer:

D.) $244.80

Explanation:

A price increase means a hike in price of something.

In this case, if the original price of this item = $240

and there is a price increase by 2% or 0.02,

converted to dollars, this means that the price of the item increased by;

0.02*240 = $4.8

Next, knowing the price increase in dollars and the original price of $240, sum them up to get the new price of the item;

$240 + $4.8 = $244.8
