a. Original Price: $16.20
Increase by 40%
Final Price:
Proportional Constant:

How to find the final price and the constant of proportionality in this problem?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The final price is $ 22.68  And Proportional constant is 1.4  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The Original price = $ 16.20

The rate of increase = 40%

Let The final price = x

Now,

Final price after increase = initial price × ( 1 + [tex]\frac{\textrm Rate}{100}[/tex]

Or. Final price after increase = $ 16.20 × ( 1 + [tex]\frac{\textrm 40}{100}[/tex]

Or, Final price after increase = $ 16.20 × ( 1.4 )

Final price after increase = $ 22.68

Now , Proportional constant = [tex]\frac{22.68}{16.20}[/tex]

I.e Proportional constant = 1.4

Hence The final price is $ 22.68  And Proportional constant is 1.4  Answer
