   2. 80 * . 2 = . 56

   2. 80+. 56= $3. 36 per minute

   2. 80 multiplied by 1. 20 (the original amount plus 20 percent)
   so, 2. 80 * 1. 20
   = $3. 36

   2. 80 plus 20% of 2. 80 is
   2. 8 + (0. 2*2. = $3. 36

   first multiply . 2 by 2. 80 and then add the answer to 2. 80

   do
   2. 80 x . 20
   then + that answer to 2. 80

   Take 2. 80 X . 20 which = . 56

   then add . 56 to 2. 80 which = 3. 36

   $2. 80 x . 20 = X

   X + 2. 80 = NEW PRICE

    It’s not really a word problem, it’s straight-forward math.

    What is 2. 8 * 120%?

    $2. 80 x 20%=0. 56
    2. 80 + 0. 56 = $3. 36

    $2. 80 multiplied by . 20 is equal to $0. 56, add that to 2. 80 and you have the answer which is 3. 36
