Question

The demand for a new drum set causes a music store to increase the price of the drum set by 35%. If the drum set originally cost $500, what is the new price of the drum set

Answer 1

$635

Explanation:

$500 plus 35% of $500 => $500(1 + 0.35) = $500(1.35) = $675.

The new price is $675, 35% greater than the original price.
