Question

(c) Mrs. Mask looked at another hotel. She waited a week before she decided to book nights at that hotel, and now the prices have increased. The original price was $1195. The price for the same room and same number of nights is now $2075. What is the percent increase? Round to the nearest whole percent. Explain and Show your work. plzz with full explanation and wokout

Answer 1

First, find the difference in values:
2075-1195=880
Now, divide the difference by the original price and multiply by 100:
(880/1195)×100=73.6= 74% is your answer
To check, simply do 1195×1.74=$2079.30, the answer changes slightly due to rounding.
