Given the statement:
Paul buys a computer printer online for $181.
Determine how much Paul will pay if the addition price for shipping and handling is 30%
Solution:
In order to do so we first take 30% of 181 by multiplying the decimal value of 30% to 181. Then we add the product back to $181. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 30/100
=0.3
= (0.3)($181)
= $54.3
= $54.3 + $181
= $235.3
Final answer:
= $235.3
