Question

The music store bought a violin that cost v dollars. The store marked up the violin so it was 54% higher that what they bought it for. Which expression shows the cost of the violin?

A. v + 0.54v
B. 1 + 0.54v
C. v + 0.54
D. 0.54v

Answer 1

D.

the expression is technically 54% of V. so to find the answer, we’d need to make 54% a decimal by dividing it by 100. once that’s done, we’ll be left with 0.54*v which is the same as 0.54v
