Ralph went on a shopping trip. He bought a pair of shoes and a sweater. Ralph spent 12​% more on the sweater than on the shoes. The cost of the sweater is​ ____% of the cost of the shoes.

Sagot :

Answer: 112%

 

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the cost of the shoes

If the cost of the sweater is 12% more than the cost of the shoes, then 1.12x is the cost of the sweater.

To convert the 1.12x into a percentage, multiply 1.12 by 100

This gives you:  112%
