Question

This year, the selling price of each calendar was $13.25.
The price this year represents 6% more than the selling price of each calendar last year.
What was the selling price of each calendar last year?

Answer 1

Steps to solve:
6% = 0.06, 0.06*13.25 = (6*13.225)/100 = 79.5/100 = 0.795, round to nearest 100th, 0.80.
13.25 - 0.80 = 12.45

Answer 2

how did u come up with that?

anyway, it says that: `The price this year represents 6% more than the selling price of each calendar last year.`

you knwow that \( 6\% = \frac{5}{100} \) right?

we can find the price of the calendars from net year by taking \( \frac{6}{100} \) off the \( \frac{100}{100} \)

so,
\[ \frac{100}{100} - \frac{6}{100} = \frac{94}{100} \]
we know that \( \frac{94}{100} = 0.94 \)

use the calculator, and do this
\[ 13.25 \ \cdot \ 0.94 = \text{our answer} \]
