0.08 = P 65. does not make sense; Explanations will vary.
P = 8% Sample explanation: 20% of $80 is $16. This will
make the total $96.
47. a. (0.06)(32,800) = $1968
66. does not make sense; Explanations will vary.
b. 32,800 + 1968 = $34,768 Sample explanation: A price can not drop more than
100%.
48. a. (0.07)(96) = $6.72
67. does not make sense; Explanations will vary.
b. 96 + 6.72 = $102.72 Sample explanation: Since 1.011.01 = 1.0201 the
percent of increase is 2.01%.
49. a. (0.12)(860) = $103.20
