Write an equation to calculate the increase of the total

cost, c, when the price of a hat is p dollars.

Select all that apply.

A c 1.50p

BC-,95p

cc 1.05p

Dc-1 + 05p

Ec-(1 + .05)p


Sagot :

Answer: c = 1.05p

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of the hat = p

Percentage increase in the price of the hat = 5%

The equation to calculate the increase of the total cost, c, of the hat will be:

c = p + (5% × p)

= p + (5/100 × p)

= p + (0.05 × p)

= p + 0.05p

c = 1.05p
