Question

Erica moves to manhattan where the rent goes up by 100% if she was paying 1,125 per month where she was before how much is her new rent in manhattan ?

Answer 1

Erica's earlier rent was = 1125 per month

Moving to Manhattan, rent goes up by 100 %.

Means the extra amount of rent will be = 1125 * 100 %

= 1125 * 100/100 = 1125

So new rent = 1125 (earlier) + 1125 (extra) = 2250 : Answer

Hope it will help :)
