Question

The price of gas increased 4% in one week. If the price last week was $4.30 per gallon, what is the price now?

Answer 1

Price of gas last week = $4.30
increase in price = 4%

increase = $4.30 \times \frac{4}{100}= 0.172$

Price now = $4.30 + $0.172 = $4.472

Thus the price now is $4.472.
