Question

A shipping fee of 5% is charged on every item purchased online. Select all the statements that are correct about items purchased with the shipping fee.

Keith will pay $42 for a book which costs $40.


A chair costing $80 will cost $84 with the shipping fee.


George will pay $21 for a calculator which costs $20.


Anna will pay $11 for a set of paints that cost $10.

Answer 1

A is true because 5% of 40 is 2. 40+2=42

B is true because 5% of 80 is 4. 80+4=84

C is true because 5% of 20 is 1. 20+1=21

D isn't true because 5% of 10 is not 1, but 0.5
