Question

Sparkle King increased the price of a ​$1.15 cola by 10​%. Find the increase in price and the new price.

Answer 1

Answer:

Increased amount is $0.115 and new price is $1.265.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Sparkle King increased the price of a ​$1.15 cola by 10​%.

Increased amount is 10% of $1.15.

Increased amount $=\ 1.15\times \dfrac{10}{100}=\ 0.115$

So, increased amount is $0.115.

Now, new price is the sum of original price and increased amount.

New price $=\ 1.15+\ 0.115$

                 $=\ 1.265$  

Therefore, the new price is $1.265.
