Jolie wants to get a new car before her second year of college. The sticker price of the kind of car she wants went up from $22,399 last year to $23,999 for this year's model.
What percentage did the price increase?
Answer(s): B
Explanation:
First, calculate the amount of the price increase.
$23,999 - $22,399=$1,600
Then, calculate it as a percentage of the original price by multiplying it by 100 and then dividing by the original price:
($1,600 × 100) / $22,399 = 7.1% increase
