We have been given that inflation from last year to this year was 2% and a pair of designer jeans sold for $75 last year. We are asked to find the price of pair of designer jeans this year.

An inflation of 2% will increase the price of pair of jeans by 2%, so price of pair of jeans this year would be $75 plus 2% of $75.

$\text{Price of pair of jeans this year}=\$75+\$75\times\frac{2}{100}$

$\text{Price of pair of jeans this year}=\$75+\$75\times0.02$

$\text{Price of pair of jeans this year}=\$75+\$1.5$

$\text{Price of pair of jeans this year}=\$76.5$

Therefore, the price of pair of jeans would be $76.5 this year.

Daneielle's rectangular bedroom has an area of 12 3/4 square meters.It is 3.4 meters long. How many meters wide is Danielle's be

ExtremeBDS [4]

12 3/4 as a decimal is 12.75
The area of a rectangle is length times width.
So if you divide the area (12.75) by the length(3.4)
you will get a width (and answer) of 3.75 :)
