Question

An item on sale costs 25% of the original price. The original price was $55.

Find the sale price.

Answer 1

$68.75 cents

Explanation:

Given the following question:

25% of 55

In order to find the answer, we must first use the formula to calculate percentages to calculate 25% of 55, then we use that answer to add on the initial amount.


`(p* n)/(100)`

`(25* 55)/(100) =25*55=1375/100=13.75`

`=13.75`

Now add:

`55+13.75=68.75`

`=68.75`

After a 25% increase on an item that costs 55 dollars, the new sale price will cost "$68.75 cents."

Hope this helps.
