Answer 1

898÷100×30%=269,4

898+269,4= 1167,4

Answer 2

`\begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{\textit{\LARGE a}\% of \textit{\LARGE b}}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{\textit{\LARGE a}}{100} \right)\cdot \textit{\LARGE b} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{30\% of 898}}{\left( \cfrac{30}{100} \right)898}\implies 269.4~\hfill \underset{ total~cost }{\stackrel{898~~ + ~~269.4 }{\text{\LARGE 1167.4}}}`
