Question

If the price of a particular chocolate bar is increased by 20%, and it used to be $2, what is the new price after the increase?

Answer 1

If the price of a chocolate bar is increased by 20%, the new price would be $2.40.

To find this, you can multiply the original price ($2) by 1.20, which represents the 20% increase.

$2 x 1.20 = $2.40

So the chocolate bar now costs $2.40 after the 20% increase.
