Calculate Increase: First, calculate the new price after a 30% increase. The increase is 30% of the original price, which is $11.99.Increase = 30% of $11.99 = 0.30×$11.99
Find New Price: Now, add the increase to the original price to find the new price.New Price = Original Price + Increase = $11.99 + 0.30×$11.99
Round to Nearest Cent: Perform the calculation to find the new price.New Price = $11.99+$3.597=$15.587Since prices don't usually include fractions of a cent, we'll round to the nearest cent.New Price = $15.59
Calculate Percentage Increase: To find the percentage increase, we compare the increase to the original food cost.Percentage Increase = (Original Food CostIncrease)×100Percentage Increase = ($4.31($15.59−$11.99))×100
Correct Calculation: Calculate the percentage increase.Percentage Increase = ($3.60/$4.31)×100
Correct Calculation: Calculate the percentage increase.Percentage Increase = ($3.60/$4.31)×100Perform the calculation to find the percentage increase.Percentage Increase = 0.83526×100Percentage Increase = 83.526%This doesn't seem right, we compared the increase to the food cost instead of the original price.
