c.) $3.38
Original price = $2.60
* It is the basis of increase thus, 100%
* The increase is 30%, thus, 100% + 30% = 130%
To get the new price, simply multiply the original price to 130%
$2.60 * 130% = $3.38
Another way of solving the problem is getting the equivalent of 30% and adding it to the original price.
$2.60 * 30% = $0.78
$2.60 + $0.78 = $3.38
