I go to the nail salon. The guy charges me $100 and says the nails cost $75 but he’s charging an extra $25 for the service so nobody has to tip. This would be a 33% increase, wouldn’t it? From $75 to $100 people keep saying it’s 25% but that would make the total $93.75 or am I just wrong…

Answer:

So, you're correct. The increase from $75 to $100 is indeed a 33.33% increase, not 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original cost of the nails is $75.

The additional charge for service is $25.

So, the total cost is $75 + $25 = $100.

To find the percentage increase from $75 to $100, you can use the formula:

Percentage Increase = [(New Value - Original Value) / Original Value] * 100

Substituting the values:

Percentage Increase = [(100 - 75) / 75] * 100

= (25 / 75) * 100

= 0.3333 * 100

= 33.33%

So, you're correct. The increase from $75 to $100 is indeed a 33.33% increase, not 25%.
