take 500 and multiply it by 20 ---->this gives you 10000
divide 10000 by 100 to get 100; this is the increase
500+100=$600

If the price is $ 100. then the selling price will be $ 120. ( increase of 20%)
If the price is $ 500. then the selling price will be
= $ 500 X 120 / 100
= $ 600

it would be $600.00. first, you find 20% of 500 which is 100. then you add on 100 to 500 which gives you you're final price.

Golly gee - this is a hard question. Let's see - what is 20% of $500.00? Once you determine this, you can just add the two numbers together and get the correct answer. Hmmmm --
500.00 * .20 = ???.??. Then 500.00 + ???.?? = XXX.XX. See how smart we are??
