Question

Amelia bought a violin that was marked up in price, p, by 15%. Write an expression representing the price Amelia paid. Write a different expression that could represent the price Amelia paid.

Answer 1

a. P(1.15)

b. P(0.15) + p

Explanation:

P is the original price so p(1) = p

15% = 0.15 so p(1.15) is original price times 1.15 or original price plus 0.15 of p (p(0.15) + p).

Answer 2

Part A answer:
`p(1.15)`

Part B answer:
`[p(0.15)]+p`

Explanation:

good luck :)
