Answer 1

Answer:

14.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a proportion of 226800/100 and 19300/x.

cross multiply and divide 1930000/226800

subtract the 85 from 100 to get 14.9%

Answer 2

22,680 - 19,300 = 3,380 ( price difference)

22,680 / 100 = 226.8 ( making denominator 100 so it is a percentage )

3,380 / 226.8 = 14.9029982

rounded : 14.9%

im hoping this is right :(
