Answer 1

The price today is 250.

You first multiply 200 by .25 (which is the decimal form of 1/4). This will give you 50. After that, you add the 50 to the 200 to show the increase of 1/4.

Answer 2

Answer: The price today = $250

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The original price of apple was  $200.

The price of a new apple ipod has increased by 1/4.

Then , the new price =(Original price)  +($\dfrac{1}{4}$) x (Original price)

= (Original price) ( $1+\dfrac{1}{4}$ )

$(\ 200)(\dfrac{5}{4})=\ 250$

Hence, the price of ipod today = $250
