Question

Lamar receives money from his relatives every year on his birthday. Last year, Lamar received $100. This year, he received 29% more than last year. How much did he receive this year?

Answer 1

Answer:

$129

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount received last year = $100

Amount received this year = x

x = 29% more of last year

x = $100 + ($100 * 29%)

x = $100 + ($100 * 29 / 100)

x = $100 + $29

x = $129
