Question

If the price of a business math text rose to $220 and this was 7% more than the original price, what was the original selling price? (Round to the nearest cent.)​

Answer 1

235.4 because of the 7%

Answer 2

235.4

Explanation:

7% more than 220 would be 235.4

First you would turn 7% as a decimal which would be .07. Then, you would multiply .07 times 220 which would give you 15.4. Lastly, you would add 15.4 plus 220 which would equal 235.4.

7%=.07

.07×220=15.4

15.4+220=235.4
