Question

If the cost of eggs was originally $2.80 how much will eggs cost after a 20% increase

Answer 1

3.36 dollars. The guy above me explain it all it indeed correct

Answer 2

3.36 dollars

Explanation:

Original price is 2.80 dollars

we take 20% of 2.80 aka the original price.

(p.s 20% in just
`(20)/(100)` since % sign means divide by 100)

so,

=
`2.80 * (20)/(100)`

=0.56

This means that 20% increase results in 0.56 increase in dollars

So the price after this increase would become

2.80 + 0.56

=3.36 dollars
