Question

The students in Mary’s class sold cookies for a fundraiser this year and last year. This year, the selling price of a box of cookies was $13.25. The price this year represents 6% more than the selling price of each box last year.

Answer 1

Find 6% of 13.25

0.06 x 13.25 = 0.795

Then subtract 0.795 from 13.25 because the price was less last year

13.25-0.795 = 12.455

Rounded up that would be $12.46 last year
