ANSWER FAST PLEASE

Answer 1

The percent increase in the price of iceberg lettuce is 140%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent increase, we need to calculate the difference between the price at which iceberg lettuce is grown and shipped and the price at which consumers purchase it, and then divide that difference by the original price and multiply by 100.

Let's start by finding the difference:

Difference = Consumer price - Production price

Difference = 120 cents - 50 cents = 70 cents

Now, let's calculate the percent increase:

Percent Increase = (Difference / Production price) * 100

Percent Increase = (70 cents / 50 cents) * 100 = 140%

Answer 2

Answer: 41.7

Step by Step: 50/120=X/100

You must cross multiply so 50 multiplied by 100 equals 5000. And then divide 5000 by 120 to get 41.7
