Question

Shelly Ward finds that her proposed budget of

$150 for school books is too low. She will need to
increase the amount by 30%. How much does she
need to budget for school books?

Answer 1

$195

Explanation:

To get 30% of $150, we need to multiply 30 by 150 and divide the answer by 100.

`(30 * 150)/(100)`=
`(4500)/(100)`

Simplifying this, we get 30% of $150 is $45.

Since Shelly needs to increase the amount, we add $45 to $150.

45 + 150 = 195

Shelly needs to budget $195 total for school books.
