Question

Steven bought a new computer at the end of a sale. The price of the computer was $52 on the day he bought it. The next day it had been marked up by 40%. What was the new price after the sale?

Answer 1

Answer:

$72.80

Step-by-step explanation:

You would multiply 52 with .40 to get 20.8. This is how much the price increased by. Then you would add the 20.8 to your original price of 52 to get 72.80.

(Also you use .40 initially because percent means out of 100. So 40% is the same as .4)
