Between 1998 and 2018, inflation for prices of goods and services has been about 51%, a factor of 1.51. Suppose a salon charged $18 for a basic haircut in 1998 and has been raising prices by a steady percentage each year to keep up with inflation.

What is the price of a haircut at the salon in 2008? Explain or show your reasoning.

The answer is 270 cars.you can do this by making a proportional relationship. for instance, 200 is the whole we are using, so on a “number line” 200 would be over 100%. now, since he sells 35% more, add 35% to 100% to get 135% on the other side of the “number line” on the bottom half, leaving the top half empty.cross multiply 200 by 135 then divide by 100 to get your answer. i hope this , if it did, , if you don’t mind, giving me brainiest! 200/100% } 200 • 135 /100 ? /135%
