The price of sugar before was P 40 per kilo. If it increased by 40%. What is the new price of the sugar per kilo?

a.24 pesos
b.16 pesos
c.64 pesos
d.56 pesos


Sagot :

Answer:

d. 56 pesos

Step-by-step explanation:

P40 here is considered 100% of the original price. Since there's an increase of 40% then it will become 100% + 40%.

100% + 40% = 140%

Change to decimal

140%/100% = 1.4

Now solve for the new price

1.4 (P40) = P56

Ans: d. 56 pesos
