Question

1. Aunt Karin always gives Jessica $10 for her birthday. Next

year, she plans to give Jessica 20% more than she usually
gives. How much will Jessica get for her birthday next year? *

Answer 1

Money Jessica gets for her birthday = $10

Money she will get from her aunt Karin for her next birthday :-

= 20% more than the money she usually gets

= 20% more than 10

`= 20 * (1)/(10) + 10`

`= (20)/(10) + 10`

`= (2)/(1) + (10)/(1)`

`= 2 + 10`

`= $12`

Therefore , Jessica will get $12 for her next birthday year .
