Due to the restrictions of Coronavirus, Mr. Trent, the local store owner, increased the prices of goods at his store by 15% each to make the same income he was making before. If buying an orange was $40 and the price of purchasing a mango was $50, calculate how much it costs in total now to buy ten oranges and ten mangoes at the new prices.
How much did the price of oranges increase? ** If the initial price of orange was $40, after the increase, the price rose by 15/100*$40 = $<<40*15/100=6>>6
How much does it cost to buy an orange now? ** The total price of buying an orange at the new price is $6+$40 = $<<6+40=46>>46
How much did the price of mangoes increase? ** For the mango, the price increased by 15/100*$50 = <<15/100*50=7.5>>7.5
How much does it cost to purchase a mango now? ** The price of purchasing a mango at the new price is $50+$7.5 = <<50+7.5=57.5>>57.5
How much does it cost to buy ten oranges now? ** To buy ten oranges it would cost $46*10 = $<<46*10=460>>460
How much does it cost to buy ten mangoes now? ** To buy 10 mangoes, it now costs $57.5*10 = $<<57.5*10=575>>575
How much does it cost to buy ten oranges and ten mangoes now? ** The total cost of buying ten oranges and ten mangoes is $575+$460 = $<<1035=1035>>1035
