Question

Guya paid 20% more for a name-brand entertainment system than a generic one would have cost.assuming the generic system was $400, how much did he pay for his entertainment system

Answer 1

$480

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 1% of the cost.

100% = 400

1% = 400 ÷ 100 = 4

Since they are asking for entertainment system, which costs 20% more than the generic, find out 120%.

120% = 4 x 120 = 480
