Question

Hank’s monthly rent was $458, but he just got a notice from his landlord saying that it will go up by 21%. This means that he will now pay 121% of the previous amount.

Which is the best estimate of Hank’s new monthly rent?
$540
$552
$585
$598

Answer 1

598 dollars is i think the correct answer

Answer 2

We're looking for 458*1.21, which is 554.18. That makes the answer $552, since that is the closest.
