Question

the cost of eggs has seen a 12% increase since the coronavirus outbreak if a dozen eggs cost 1.78 before the outbreak hows much should you expect to pay for a dozen eggs now

Answer 1

1.9216 (that’s not rounded)

Multiplying .12x1.78 gives you 0.1416, which is 12% of 1.78. Then 1.78 + 0.1416 = 1.9216, the price after the raise.
