Question

Sparkle King increased the price of a ​$1.15 cola by 10​%. Find the increase in price and the new price.

Answer 1

Increased amount is $0.115 and new price is $1.265.

Explanation:

It is given that Sparkle King increased the price of a ​$1.15 cola by 10​%.

Increased amount is 10% of $1.15.

Increased amount
`=\$1.15* (10)/(100)=\$0.115`

So, increased amount is $0.115.

Now, new price is the sum of original price and increased amount.

New price
`=\$1.15+\$0.115`

`=\$1.265`

Therefore, the new price is $1.265.
