Question

Your hotdogs currently have a menu price of $2.80 + $.10 for extra sauerkraut. You want to include the sauerkraut in the cost and increase the price by 30%. What will the new selling price be?

a $2.71
b) $3.28
C) $3.77
d) $4.10

Answer 1

C) $3.77

Explanation:

• $2.80 + $0.10 = $2.90

• Turn 30% into 0.30 by moving the decimal point (percentage sign) 2 places to the left.

• To solve 30% of $2.90 → 0.30 x 2.90 = 0.87

• Finally $2.90 + $0.87 = $3.77
