Question

is it the same thing saying the price increased by 53%, and the new price is 153% of the old price? if so how would i go about solving this and knowing if it is true or false?

Answer 1

p represents price

 

p + 53%p represents and increase of 53%    factor

p(1 + 53%)

p(100% + 53%)

p(153%)

153%(p)

 

OK?
