how do i add 60% to a price?

Answer 1

Take whatever the price is and multiply it by 1.60. that will give you the price with %60 added to it.

Answer 2

What you have to do is multiply the original price by 0.6 The answer you get, you have to add that to the original price.

e.g a shoe costs $150
to add 60% to that price, you multiply 150 by 0.6
Therefore 150 * 0.6 = 90
90 + 150 = 240

Another way, multiply the original price by 1.6

Another way could be just moving the decimal place in the original price (150) 150 is actually read 150.00 therefore, you move the decimal place one place to the left to find 10 %. This makes that number 15. To find 60% you add 15 six times or just multiply 15 by 6 which will equal 90. After that, add to the original to find what 60% plus a price will be.

Hope that helps. Chau
