OpenStudy (anonymous):
a car model announced the new car model would go up by 3.5%. this years price is 19,159
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I have to find the percent increased and the new price
OpenStudy (amistre64):
well, the increase is 3.5% of its current price.
the new price is just the current price ... plus the increase :/

so how do i do that?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
well. in general ... any number, n, can be divide by 100. That would give us 1%
take that 1% and multiply it by how many percents we want to find ... in this case 3.5 of them.
OpenStudy (amistre64):
n/100 = 1%
3.5 * n/100 = 3.5%
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the new price of the car would be 67053?
OpenStudy (amistre64):

no
OpenStudy (amistre64):
670.56 is the increase ...
OpenStudy (amistre64):
so i think you worked the increase, might have lost track of the decimals along the way to get: 670.53
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so thats the increase and then i just add that to the price of this years car?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
to find the new price?
