Answer 2

28.45%

Explanation:

The price of a new cell phone = $225

With the extended warranty, the total cost comes to $289.

We need to find the percent of the purchase price is the price of the warranty. It can be calculated as follows :

`\%=\frac{|\text{purchase price-extended warrenty price}|}{\text{purchase price}}* 100\\\\=(|225-289|)/(225)* 100\\\\=28.45\%`

So, the percent of the purchase price is 28.45%.
