a grocer marks up cereal box by 20%, if a box of raisins bran costs the grocer $1.80 what is the grocers selling price
what u send me errased
Just ignore that as me playing with numbers but going wrong
1.80 + .20(1.80) = 1 + 8/10 + 2/10(1 + 8/10) = 1 + 8/10 + 2/10 + 16/100 = 10/10 + 8/10 + 2/10 + 16/100 = 100/100 + 80/100 + 20/100 + 16/100 = (100 + 80 + 20 + 16)/100 = (100 + 100 + 16)/100 = (200 + 16)/100 = 216/100 = 2.16
If you can decipher all of that, you're good
i dont understand it because of the ///////
It means fraction
so how can i ge my answer
\[1.80 + .20(1.80) \\= 1 + \frac{8}{10} + \frac{2}{10}(1 + \frac{8}{10}) \\= 1 + \frac{8}{10} + \frac{2}{10} + \frac{16}{100} \\= \frac{10}{10} + \frac{8}{10} + \frac{2}{10} + \frac{16}{10}\\ = \frac{100}{100} + \frac{80}{100} + \frac{20}{100} + \frac{16}{100} \\= \frac{100 + 80 + 20 + 16}{100} \\= \frac{100 + 100 + 16}{100} \\= \frac{200 + 16}{100} \\= \frac{216}{100} \\ \space \\= 2.16\]
That's a long-winded solution
