Question

Brian buys a lawn ornament priced at $78. Shipping and handing are an additional 5% of the price. How much shipping and handing will Brain pay?

Answer 1

$\begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{5\% of 78}}{\left( \cfrac{5}{100} \right)78}\implies 3.9$
