Question

The price of a four-star dinner was $100 two decades ago. A report says that a dinner is 250% of what it was 20 years ago, how much would it cost today?

Answer 1

The dinner will cost $250 today.

Explanation

The price of a four-star dinner was $100 two decades ago and now the cost of the dinner is 250% of what it was 20 years ago.

So for finding the current cost, we will find 250% of $100 .

First we need to make 250% as decimal form after dividing it by 100. So....

250% = $\frac{250}{100}= 2.50$

Now we will multiply this 2.50 with $100 for getting the current cost of the dinner.

Thus, the current cost $=(100* 2.50)dollar = 250 dollar$
