Answer:

The answer is $3.39

Explanation:

the question states an increase in price. this means that we need to multiply the current prince ($2.67) by 127%.

drop the percent and put 127 over 100


(127)/(100)

multiply


(127)/(100) *(2.67)/(1)\\\\ (339.09)/(100) \\\\3.39

we are dealing with currency so rounding to the hundredths place will suffice.

hope this helps :)
