Question

The average price of a gallon of orange juice in Newark, NJ is $6. The average price in Boston is 110% of the price in Newark. What is the average price of a gallon of orange juice in Boston?​

Answer 1

$12.60

Explanation:

average price of a gallon of orange juice in Boston = average price in NJ + value of percentage increase over NJ's price

value of percentage increase over NJ's price = 110% x $ 6

= 1.10 x $6 = 6.6

6.6 + 6 = $12.60
