Question

To keep up with rising expenses, a motel manager

needs to raise the $40.00 room rate by 22%. What will
be the new rate?

Answer 1

22% of $40 is $8.80 so the now rate should be $40.00+$8.80=$48.80

Answer 2

Answer: $48.80

Step-by-step explanation: Take the original $40 and multiply it by your percentage of increase. Either do (40*0.22)+40 or (40*1.22).
