Answer 12

yeah I don't know either. Because I tried working it out and got 1.3% and it said I'm wrong. So I googled the question to see what others were getting and they all said it was 1.3% too. And then you told me 1.3% and so I tried it again and it said it was still wrong. I don't know why it won't accept that. And then I tired 1% and it says that I need to have a tenth place.

Answer 13

It's just a practice thing but I still need to learn how to do this right

Answer 14

Okay I just found a button that says explain so I clicked that and it gives me a discription and says the answer is 1.1%

Answer 15

It says: We first find how much the price increased from yesterday.
Amount of increase: $9.73 - $9.62=$0.11
To find the rate of increase, we divide the amount of increase by yesterday's price.
Rate of increase:$0.11/$9.62=0.0114
We convert this rate to a percentage by multiplying it by 100.
Percentage increase: (100*0.0114)%=1.14%
Rounding to the nearest tenth of a percent, we get 1.1%
