Question

on Monday Sammy the storekeeper decides to increase the price was avocados(50 cents each) by 20 percent. On Tuesday, increases the price by another 25%. What percent of the original avocado price is the price of avocados after both increases?

Answer 1

When you increase by 20% you multiply the original value by 120%

Answer 2

And then whatever you get from there, you have to multiply it by 125% because he again increased it by 25%

Answer 3

Then, you would multiply the decimal percentages together to get the total increase
\[\text{Total Increase}=1.20\times1.25\]
\[\text{Total Increase}=1.5\]

Answer 4

Turn that decimal into a percentage to get your answer
