_5/6 .......is great.......
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for each choice until you get the answer 1/5.
A.
2 - 4/5
10/5 - 4/5 = 6/5; this is not 1/5
B
8 - 8/5
40/5 - 8/5 = 32/5; this is not 1/5
C
3 - 16/5
15/5 - 16/5 = -1/5
5 - 26/5
25/5 - 26/5 = -1/5
7 - 36/5
35/5 - 36/5 = -1/5; although this is negative, it still has the same proportionality of 1/5
To find the percentage, you divide the new price ($39.90) by the original price ($38), and the multiply it by 100 to change the answer from a decimal to a percentage:
39.90 / 38 x 100 = 105
So 39.90 is 105% of 38
To get our final answer, subtract this by 100%
105 - 100 = 5%
ANSWER: So the percentage increase of the price is 5% ($1.90)
