EE.2
A health food store was charging $5.26 for a small salad but raised the price 20%. The new price after the increase is $6.31.
Enter an expression to show how the new price was calculated.

Answer 1

Explanation:

20% can be written as a fraction

20% = 20/100

20/100 = 1/5

5.26 x 1/5

1 x 5.26/ 5

5.26/5

1.052 = 1.05

Old price : $5.26

New price : $6.31

Increase : $1.05
