Huh?
You forgot something.
That's a question about percentage.
One way to represent percentage is using decimal number. In this way, 1 is equivalent to 100% and the other less percentages using numbers between 0 and 1.
Examples:
- 90% is equivalent to 0,90.
- 5% is equivalent to 0.05. It's not 0.5 because 0.5 is equivalent to 50%.
- 13.17% is equivalent to 0.1317.
- 245% is equivalent to 2.45.
If we want to know the percentage of a number, we should multiplacate the number by the porcentage in the decimal number form.
Examples:
- 55.90% of 200 is equal to:

- 360% of 88 is equal to:

In our problem, we have a phone with a increase of 7%. To solve that, it's important to perceive that $230 is equal to 100% and with a increase of 7%, we will pay 107%.
107% in the decimal number form is 1.07. With that information, we should multiplicate 1.07 by the original value and we will find the answer.
We know that
, therefore, the total cost of the phone after tax is $246.1.
I hope I've helped. :D

Answer: B) real number</h3>
Explanation:
Something like 3.5 = 7/2 is a rational number because its a fraction of two integers.
While on the other hand, the constant pi = 3.14159... is irrational because we cannot write pi as a fraction of two integers. We can get approximations like 22/7, but not a perfect exact match.
Both types of numbers, rational and irrational, are under the umbrella of the real number system. Any real number is a string of decimal digits. Sometimes it might be a whole number, but fractional values can be included as well. The decimal number may terminate, or it may repeat, or it may go on forever without a pattern.
In short, any number you can think of is a real number assuming your teacher hasn't covered complex numbers (or imaginary numbers) just yet.
You are right. Transitivity means, that:
if a = b and b = c, then a = c
(here a = x, b=5 and c = y).
