Question

the original price, p, of a single scoop of ice cream has increased by 7%. The new price can be represented as 1.07 p. Which expression is also equivalent to the new price?

Answer 1

`p + 0.07p`

Explanation:

The original price of a single scoop of ice cream is given as p.

The price has increased by 7%.

We need to calculate 7% of p and add it to p.

7% of p=0.07p

We add it to p, to obtain:

p+0.07p=1.07p

Therefore an equivalent expression is

p+0.07p
