Read the problem:
- What is the actual cost?
- How much is 25% of the actual cost? (actual_cost*0.25 = 25% of actual cost)
- How much is the actual cost plus 25%?
Do the math on your calculator and you've got your answer.
Short cut: If you want to add a percentage to a number, add the percentage to 1 and multiply times the number: 1+0.25= 1.25; 800*1.25 = your answer
