Question

C The price of milk is believed to increase by 54% over the next 3 years. If 2 gallons of milk costs $2.50 now, what will the price be in 3 years after the increase? ​

Answer 1

The price of 2 gallons of milk will be $3.85 in the next 3 years.

Explanation:

So, first, we take the 54% and convert it into 0.54.

Then, we set up this equation: 0.54 x $2.50 = $1.35

Now, $1.35 isn't the answer.

To find the answer, we simply add the $2.50 and the $1.35 to get:

$3.85.

The price of 2 gallons of milk will be $3.85 in the next 3 years.
