The attractive pair of boots that Tomiko wants to buy is selling for $80. Before she can buy them, the store raises the price buy $24. By what percentage did they raise the price?

Respuesta :

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage, you need to set up a proportion:

[tex]\frac{x}{100} =\frac{24}{80}[/tex],

so solving for x we get 80x=2400  (cross-multiplication)

x=30

So, they raised the price by 30%.
