Question 1012748: In a mythical country, where the number system is base 5, the price of soap is increased by 40 base 5 percent. What percent of the original price is the final price? Leave your answer in base 5) Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 40-base-5 is 20-base-ten.
So if you raise the price of an item 20%, say from $100 to $120, the final price is 120% of the original (in base ten)...
120-base-ten is 440-base-five.
