Question

the next model of a sport car will cost 4.2% more than the current model. the current model costs $54,000. how much will the price increase in dollars? what will be the price of the next model?

Answer 1

it will increase by $2,268.00

(you mutiple 54,00 x 4.2 = 226,800 but then you move the comma over one number to the right since in the equations there was one decimal present then you get $2,268.00)

the next price will be $56,268

(you add $2,268.00 to $54,000)
