Answer 2

Answer:

C) $4.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how I did it:

So we're trying to find 15% of $25.90... we can say that the $25.90 is 100% of Madison's Manicure... 100% can also be written as 1.0... why? well if 1.0 is 100%, then we can say any other percentage is proportionate to this... for example... 0.25 is 25% of 1.0... In this case... we are trying to add an additional 15% to the 100% price of the manicure... (Remember... with our proportion we can say that 115% is the same as 1.15) If we take our proportion:

1.15 x 25.90 = 3.89

4.00 is the closest to 3.89

therefore the answer is C) $4.00
