Question

Mr. Ortiz prices umbrella in his store at $8 each. On rainy days, he increases the prices of umbrella by 75%. How much does an umbrella cost on a rainy day.

Answer 1

$14 for an umbrella.

Explanation:

To figure out the cost, you need to turn the percentage into a decimal.

75 / 100 = .75

Next, you need to multiply 8 by .75

8 x .75 = 6

Then, you would add.

8 + 6 = 14

The total cost of an umbrella on a rainy day is $14.
