Question

16. A house was rented for 300 per month. Find the
new rent of the house after an increase of 8% in the
rent-
(A) * 308
(B) 324
(C) 400
(D) 500
​

Answer 1

Answer:

(B) 324

Step-by-step explanation:

8% of 300

= ( 8 / 100 ) × 300

= 8 × 3

= 24

So an increase of 8% is an increase of 24.

The new rent is then 300 + 24 = 324.
