Question

the following pair of equations indicate means by which increase in price can be calculated based on percent of increase, where base price ($b_{o}$) is adjusted based on base price ($b$) times rate of increase ($r$). evaluate the equations and determine their relationship in final values.
$b_{o}=3$
$b = 3$
$r = 0.34$
formula a = $b_{o}+bcdot r=$
formula b = $bcdot r + b_{o}=$

formula a results in a value equal to formula b.
formula a results in a value greater than formula b.
formula a results in a value less than formula b.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Formula A

Substitute \(B_o = 3\), \(B = 3\), \(R=0.34\) into \(B_o + B\cdot R\).
\(3+3\times0.34=3 + 1.02\)

Step2: Calculate Formula B

Substitute \(B_o = 3\), \(B = 3\), \(R = 0.34\) into \(B\cdot R + B_o\).
\(3\times0.34+3=1.02 + 3\)

Answer:

Formula A results in a value equal to Formula B.
