Q. QuEsnow 55 of 1010: Your price for Chicken Parmesan is $11.99. \mathbf{\$ 1 1 . 9 9 .} Your food cost for this item is $4.31 \$ 4.31 . You change you menu prices to be 30% 30 \% ef thout east. By what percentage will the price of Chicken Parmesan increase?\newlinea) 15% 15 \% \newlineb) 17 s 17 \mathrm{~s} \newlinec) 20% 20 \% \newlined) 23762376
  1. Calculate Increase: First, calculate the new price after a 3030% increase. The increase is 3030% of the original price, which is $11.99\$11.99.\newlineIncrease = 3030% of $11.99\$11.99 = 0.30×$11.990.30 \times \$11.99
  2. Find New Price: Now, add the increase to the original price to find the new price.\newlineNew Price = Original Price + Increase = $11.99\$11.99 + 0.30×$11.990.30 \times \$11.99
  3. Round to Nearest Cent: Perform the calculation to find the new price.\newlineNew Price = $11.99+$3.597=$15.587\$11.99 + \$3.597 = \$15.587\newlineSince prices don't usually include fractions of a cent, we'll round to the nearest cent.\newlineNew Price = $15.59\$15.59
  4. Calculate Percentage Increase: To find the percentage increase, we compare the increase to the original food cost.\newlinePercentage Increase = (IncreaseOriginal Food Cost)×100(\frac{\text{Increase}}{\text{Original Food Cost}}) \times 100\newlinePercentage Increase = (($15.59$11.99)$4.31)×100(\frac{(\$15.59 - \$11.99)}{\$4.31}) \times 100
  5. Correct Calculation: Calculate the percentage increase.\newlinePercentage Increase = ($3.60/$4.31)×100(\$3.60 / \$4.31) \times 100
  6. Correct Calculation: Calculate the percentage increase.\newlinePercentage Increase = ($3.60/$4.31)×100(\$3.60 / \$4.31) \times 100Perform the calculation to find the percentage increase.\newlinePercentage Increase = 0.83526×1000.83526 \times 100\newlinePercentage Increase = 83.526%83.526\%\newlineThis doesn't seem right, we compared the increase to the food cost instead of the original price. Let's correct that.
