Question

What will be the price of gas if there is a 27% increase from $2.67 per gallon?​

Answer 1

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 :)
