Answer:

$255.98.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price is 199.99.

If the store raises the price by 13%, then we must simplify 13% into decimal form.

13% = 13/100 = .13.

199.99 x .13 = 25.99

If they raised the price by 13%, then we are adding the original price to the 13% they added.

199.99 + 25.99 = 225.98

The price after raised by 13% is $255.98.
