Answer:

$5.09 cents

Explanation:

Given the following question:

20% of 6.36

In order to find the answer, we will calculate using the formula for percentages then subtract that answer from the initial amount to have our answer.

[tex]\frac{p\times n}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{20\times6.36}{100}=20\times6.36=127.2\div100=1.272[/tex]
[tex]=1.272[/tex]

Round:
[tex]1.272[/tex]
[tex]2 < 5[/tex]
[tex]1.27[/tex]

Now subtract:
[tex]6.36-1.27=5.09[/tex]
[tex]=5.09[/tex]

After a 20% decrease the price is now "$5.09 cents." Which means this was the price before the 20% increase.

Hope this helps.
