Answer 2

Hi there! So, the price is up by 110%. That would mean doubling the price, but that’s not an option. Instead, we can multiply by 110% (1.1) to find the new price of the juice. 2.85 * 1.1 is 3.135 or 3.14 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. The new price of the juice is $3.14. The answer is D.
