increase.
Calculator usage:
Option 1 (Direct method): Use the Increased Value CALCULATOR ("Calculate new value after percentage increase"). Enter $5.00 [Original] and 10% [Increase]. The calculator will directly give you the new gas price.
Option 2 (Step-by-step method):
Step 1: Calculate the price increase amount. Use the Basic Percentage CALCULATOR ("What is X% of Y?"). Enter 10 [X] and $5.00 [Y]. The calculator will determine 10% of $5.00.
Step 2: Add the increase amount calculated in Step 1 to the previous price.
Formula explanation:
We want to find the new price of gasoline after a 10% increase from $5.00.
Amount of increase = (10 / 100) × $5.00 = 0.1 × $5.00 = $0.50
New price = $5.00 + $0.50 = $5.50
